The Official Rape is Never Justified, Inc. Tumblr!

Rape is Never Justified™ is a movement built to help, both, victims and survivors of sexual abuse and rape to find their voice and speak out. The most unique thing about RNJ is that, as a staff, we don't encourage you to report your act of violence, we don't encourage you to talk with anyone-professionals included, and we don't encourage you to turn to a Higher Power/religion to become a survivor. We only encourage you to fight when you're ready and willing- and we want to be here along the way.

The US Redefines Definition of Rape *Graphic Near End*

I do not know if everyone else is aware of this and I am just now reading about it. If this is the case then I am sorry for the delay, however, I just came across an article from Jan. 7th this year posted by Daily News L.A.

The article is regarding the Obama Administration and their recent change to the definition of rape. The previous definition has remained unchanged for over 80 years. This new change will not have any immediate or any effects on the state or federal laws regarding rape but will help to increase the number of rape ‘victims’ (survivors). With the new definition, men are considered victims and physical resistance is not required.

 I believe that there are many positive things to come with the new definition. Because the number of rape ‘victims’ (survivors) will increase, to an extent that is unknown, so will the funding for prevention and assistance programs. Government officials use these statistics to determine where the money will go and it would be great to have more resources on our side.

The old definition, from 1929, defines “rape as the carnal knowledge of a female, forcibly and against her will”. While the new definition includes any gender of ‘victim’ or attacker, where the ‘victim’ is unable to provide consent because of the influence of alcohol, drugs or age.

**The actual definition will be written below. Trigger warning.**

The word for word, changed definition of rape is as follows; “the penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim”.
