Rape is often considered as a crime against a woman’s virtue. However, cases of male rape and sexual violence against members of the LGBTQ+ community can-not be overlooked. Though such cases are much underreported as compared to male-on-female rape, every victim of sexual violence should have legal recourse, regardless of gender, at the very least from a human rights perspective.
In India, however, rape is classified as a gender-specific offence. To provide deeper insights into the issue, this paper examines two key questions: (1) What factors contribute to the persistence of gender-specific laws in India; and (2) What can be learned from a critical analysis of gender-neutral rape laws in the UK, South Africa, and European Union, with a particular focus on Sweden? Additionally, the paper explores the potential for India to adopt relevant legal principles from these jurisdictions.

The crimes of armed robbery and robbery with a deadly weapon have always been the most pervasive, harmful crime against property in Hungary and are mostly associated with male perpetrators since. However, there are also female perpetrators committing the crimes of armed robbery or robbery committed with a deadly weapon. Despite the availability of the judicial decisions in the public judicial database, the characteristics of these female perpetrators – including their motivations and the judicial procedures – have never been analysed. This paper will look into how female perpetrators mostly act together with male perpetrators and mostly motivated by financial difficulties. The females in question are almost exclusively adults outside of a domestic relationship and are not parents. They typically have a lowlevel education, and as a result have lowerpaying bluecollar jobs.
