Estonian Parliament approves consent law
On Wednesday, the Riigikogu approved the so‑called consent law, which establishes that clear consent is required for sexual relations.
Estonia's parliament, the Riigikogu, has passed a new law requiring explicit consent for sexual activity. This legislation, often referred to as the "consent law," defines sexual relations as requiring a clear and affirmative agreement from all parties involved.
The move aligns Estonia with several other European nations that have recently updated their legal frameworks to address consent in sexual encounters. The law aims to provide a clearer legal standard for sexual offenses.
This law clarifies legal definitions around sexual assault and aims to better protect individuals by establishing consent as a fundamental requirement for sexual activity.
