Sexual assault is one of the most underreported and pervasive forms of violence in Canada, with only about 6% of sexual assaults reported to the police.
Only 45% of Canadians fully understand what consent entails.
There is a sharp increase in cases of sexual violence during the first six weeks of the school year, and Consent Awareness Week will serve as an annual reminder of everyone’s right to be respected and safe in all spaces.
Download and sign my petition to tell the government to adopt my Consent Awareness Week Act and declare the third week of September Consent Awareness Week and encourage consent education in Ontario.
