Republic Act No. 8353, also known as the Anti-Rape Law of 1997 in the Philippines, redefined the crime of rape and expanded its definition to include sexual assault and other forms of sexual violence. It removed the requirement of force and intimidation, recognizing that consent is central to sexual relations. The law also established stricter penalties for offenders and provided for the protection of victims during legal proceedings. Additionally, it aimed to raise public awareness about sexual violence and encourage reporting of such crimes.
