Gender-based violence : unwanted sexual behaviours in Canada's territories, 2018 / by Samuel Perreault.: CS85-002/40-8E-PDF
"In 2018, Statistics Canada conducted the Survey of Safety in Public and Private Spaces (SSPPS), with the goal of collecting data to deepen our knowledge of gender-based violence in Canada. The SSPPS is part of Canada's Strategy to Prevent and Address Gender-Based Violence, and provides the government with the relevant, timely and representative data required to implement the strategy. … In addition to the present report, Statistics Canada's Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics and Community Safety also released a report outlining the first results of the SSPPS for the provinces specifically (Cotter and Savage 2019). The present report complements this earlier report by presenting the first results of the SSPPS for the territories, with a focus on unwanted sexual behaviours in public spaces, unwanted behaviours online and unwanted sexual behaviours in the workplace. Results are based on responses from more than 2,500 persons living in the territories, who were each assigned a weight so as to be representative of the entire territories population 15 years of age and older. This article takes a gender-based approach by comparing results between genders and, where possible, taking the intersection of various other characteristics into account. A separate report specific to the territories, which focusses on residents' experiences with sexual and physical assaults, will be released in the near future"--Page 4.
