[Press Statement] The Centre for Human Rights, University of Pretoria and The Psychological Society of South Africa have been formally admitted as joint amici curiae (friends of the court) in the case of Embrace Project NPC and Another v Minister of Justice and Correctional Services and Others (Case no.: 48656/2022) (“Embrace Project case”). The Centre for Applied Legal Studies has also intervened in the case as an additional applicant in the public interest. CALS’ argument is premised on the notion that the issue is not with the existence of the defence of mistaken belief in consent, but rather with having rape and other sexual offences defined in terms of a lack of consent. CALS therefore argues that the current definition of consent in the Act places a limitation on several intersecting rights of survivors and should be deemed unconstitutional.
