New Federal Right to Sue for Non-Consensual Condom Removal (Stealthing)
This law establishes a federal civil right for individuals to sue someone who removes a sexual protection barrier, such as a condom, during sexual contact without their consent. This provides victims with a legal avenue to seek financial compensation and justice for violations of autonomy, dignity, and the resulting health risks. It aims to strengthen personal safety and reproductive rights by addressing this form of sexual violence.
