Eleven per cent of women students say they were sexually assaulted in a post secondary setting in 2019. Statistics Canada says about four per cent of men report being sexually assaulted. These were higher proportions than the general population. Most of these assaults took the form of unwanted sexual touching. Most were perpetrated by fellow students.
Seventy-one per cent of students witnessed or experienced unwanted sexualized behaviours either on or off campus, or in an online situation that involved students or other people associated with the school.
Forty-five per cent of women and 32 per cent of men claimed personally experiencing these kinds of behaviours which include inappropriate verbal or non-verbal communication, sexually explicit material, and physical contact or suggested sexual relations. Also included in the list of behaviours were whistles, catcalls, and being perceived as too close to someone.
