Workers’ experiences of inappropriate sexualized behaviours, sexual assault and gender‑based discrimination in the Canadian provinces, 2020 / by Marta Burczycka.: CS85-002/41-15E-PDF

"In 2020, for the first time, Statistics Canada conducted the Survey on Sexual Misconduct at Work (SSMW). The development and collection of this survey was funded by the Department for Women and Gender Equality (WAGE) as part of the 2017 Federal Strategy to Prevent and Address Gender‑Based Violence. Implicit in this strategy is a focus on reducing the risk of violence experienced by women and others; to that end, an understanding of inappropriate sexualized behaviours, discrimination and sexual assault in the workplace is key. This Juristat article uses data from the 2020 SSMW to explore the nature and prevalence of inappropriate sexualized behaviours, discrimination and sexual assault in Canadian workplaces (see Text box 1 for a detailed list of behaviours measured by the survey). In looking at inappropriate behaviours in the workplace, the survey examined events that occurred in and around the physical work location (or lodging provided by the employer), and included events that occurred electronically or by phone between individuals related through work or business. In addition, incidents that took place during work‑related travel, training, or social events that involved co‑workers or clients are also included"--Page 4.
