Most recently, in 2018, the province of Ontario conducted an online survey measuring perceptions and experiences of sexualized violence among post-secondary students and found rates of non-consensual sexual experiences (defined as the following acts without consent: fondling, kissing, rubbing against their body, or removing clothes giving or receiving oral sex objects, including penis or fingers, inserted into the vagina or anus or attempted oral, anal, or vaginal sex) ranging from 17% among college students to 23% among university students ( Government of Ontario, 2019). Statistics Canada’s nationally representative General Social Survey on Victimization (GSS-V) estimated a 1-year sexual assault rate of 37 incidents per 1,000 women age 15 years and older, the only violent crime that has not declined over time ( Perreault, 2015). The 2010 National Intimate Partner Sexual Victimization Survey (NISVS) in the United States estimated that 18% of women have experienced rape in their lifetime in the form of attempted or completed forced penetration or drug/alcohol-facilitated penetration, and close to 45% experienced other forms of sexualized violence such as unwanted sexual contact, sexual coercion, and non-contact incidents such as flashing and sexualized harassment ( Black et al., 2011). Violence against women is now well-established as a public health and criminal justice issue and a human rights violation ( Basile & Smith, 2011).
