CAN A MAN RAPE HIS WIFE? – DOGA DIRECTOR OPINES

Director of the Directorate of Gender Affairs, Jamie Saunders, is pushing for stronger legislation to criminalise marital rape in all circumstances.
His comments come on the heels of a commitment by the country’s officials during the country’s fourth United Nations Human Rights Review in Switzerland.

They indicated to the UN that changes are being considered for the Sexual Offences Act to ensure marital rape is a criminal offence in all circumstances.

Saunders commented on the issue during an interview on ABS’ Antigua Barbuda Today.
