The Constitutional Court will today hear a pivotal case challenging the Sexual Offences Act's consent provisions in rape cases. Under the current Sexual Offences Act, a person charged with rape can avoid conviction by showing they reasonably believed the complainant consented, even if consent was not given. The court will decide whether to uphold a Pretoria High Court ruling that declared parts of the Act unconstitutional. The case was brought by The Embrace Project, a non-profit fighting gender-based violence with the support of rape survivour Inge Holztrager who was raped after being lured to a "party". Her attacker was acquitted. Elvis Presslin spoke to Lee-Anne Germanos Manuel, Director and Co-Founder of The Embrace Project
