Abstract: Mainly drawing on feminist approaches of the 20th century, I examine to what extent the element of sexual consent in the redefinition of Spanish rape law is capable to capture women's sexual will. For this, I use Bacchi's Critical Policy Analysis to explore the Spanish criminal policy discourse underpinning the legal reformulation by analysing the preparatory works of the bill and the oral debates carried out by political parties.
