## Paz Lloria analyses in Gandia the criminal implications of the reform of the 'Only yes is yes' law.

Paz Lloria.

The professor of Criminal Law at the University of Valencia gave a lecture in Gandia, las 9th March, in which she reflected on the Law of the 'Only yes is yes' and its reform. This activity is part of the programme of activities around the 40th anniversary of the Summer University of Gandia.

The "Only yes is yes" law came into force in October 2022 in the context of a huge media controversy. It was represented as a breakthrough in the protection of women, and the first consequence was the reduction of sentences in some cases that had already been prosecuted. The failure to explain this consequences, and the media hype, has led to significant media pressure that has led the government to present a reform proposal, which once again, is generating a great social agitation, propitiated by the media. Technical explanations, from a global, technical and political point of view , can help to understand the ups and downs of this much-used regulation. This was the aim of the lecture that Paz Lloria gave on 9 March at the Gandia International Centre of the University of Valencia.
