Abstract

The Situation of Rape Victims after the Amendment of 13
June 2013to the Polish Penal Code
Summary
The paper describes the situation of rape victims in Poland following
the amendment of 13 June 2013 to the Polish Penal Code. Under the
new provisions rape is an offence prosecutable in proceedings officially
brought by the public prosecutor. Hitherto rape charges were brought by
the victim or the victim’s legal guardian. This study concerns the issue
of the substantive and procedural legal consequences for the victim who
does not want to testify because of the particular situation in which he/
she has found himself, e.g. rape trauma syndrome or dependence on
the offender.
