Resumen

El caso de violación colectiva que se produjo en España durante un famoso festival de 2016 colocó el juicio contra sus cinco agresores en un nivel mediático y sin precedentes en España. La sentencia del tribunal por abuso sexual y no por violación provocó un rechazo social enorme y rápido hacia la legislación actual. Para superar la revictimización y dar voz a los y las sobrevivientes, se ha planteado la consideración del consentimiento. Este nuevo paradigma se está extendiendo profundamente en la sociedad y las redes sociales hasta el punto de que el Gobierno español ha expresado su interés en modificar el Código Penal para basar los delitos sexuales en el consentimiento. En nuestro deber de proporcionar conocimiento científico sobre este tema, este artículo enmarca el debate sobre el acoso sexual y se centra en el delito contra la libertad sexual y el contexto bajo el cual el consentimiento no puede pedirse ni acordarse. Este artículo analiza los factores delictivos agravantes mientras basa el consentimiento en la intención del delincuente. Partiendo de enfoques internacionales, este artículo enfatiza la oportunidad social actual necesaria para crear conciencia y transformar leyes con el objetivo de legislar en un "sí" afirmativo. Este enfoque contribuye al desafío de superar la violencia de género y al estudio de las masculinidades y su influencia en la transformación social.
