Gender-based violence : sexual and physical assault in Canada's territories, 2018 / by Samuel Perreault.: CS85-002/40-12E-PDF

"In 2018, Statistics Canada conducted the Survey of Safety in Public and Private Spaces (SSPPS), with the goal of collecting more 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 will provide 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 and Community Safety Statistics has also published a report with the first results from the SSPPS for the provinces (Cotter and Savage 2019) and a report on unwanted sexual behaviours in the territories (Perreault 2020). The present report, a complement to these two previous reports, presents the first SSPPS results on territory residents' experiences of physical and sexual assault, as well as attitudes and beliefs about gender-based violence. Results are based on responses from more than 2,500 people, who were each assigned a weight so as to be representative of the entire population aged 15 and older living in the territories. This article takes a gender-based approach by comparing results between genders and, where possible, taking into account the intersection of various other characteristics"--Page 4.
