Close to half of Canadian Women have been physically or sexually assaulted in their lifetime.  And one in three women have been sexually assaulted in their lifetime.

Research has shown that adolescence and young adulthood, when many are negotiating intimate relationships and boundaries for the first time, is a time of higher risk for violence. 
​

Indigenous women and girls are three times more likely to experience violence than non-Indigenous women.

In addition, lesbian and bisexual and gay Canadians are three times and two times more likely, respectively to experience violent victimization than their heterosexual counterparts and Canadians of trans experience are more likely to experience violent and inappropriate behaviours than cisgender Canadians.
