Nearly 30% of women and girls in Canada aged 15 or older have experienced sexual assault. Sexual assault rates are higher for women with disabilities, Indigenous women, 2SLGBTQIA+ community members, and others who face multiple barriers.
No wonder daily activities like walking, exercising, taking transit, and going out can feel unsafe. This is why so many women and gender-diverse people alter their behaviour to increase safety. If you’ve ever used just one earbud, gripped your keys between fingers, or pretended to talk on the phone, you know exactly what we’re talking about.
Most men are unaware of the lengths women, girls, and gender-diverse people go to feel safer from sexual assault and harassment.
