The Anti-Rape Law of 1997 or Republic Act 8353, is
progressive in terms of veering away from the chastity
framework, and in classifying rape as a crime against
persons rather than a crime committed against honor

What is rape and how is it
committed?
Republic Act No. 8353,known as the
Anti-Rape Law of 1997, expanded
the definition of the crime of rape and
re-classified it as a crime against
persons.
Rape is committed when one person engages in
sexual activity with another person without their
consent, often using force, coercion, or
manipulation.
Here are some of the main ways it occurs:
•Physical Force or Violence
•Threats or Intimidation
•Exploitation of Vulnerability
•Abuse of Power or Authority
•Deception
•Drug-Facilitated Rape
Each of these methods involves a violation of the victim's autonomy
and right to consent, making rape a serious crime with both legal
and emotional implications.
