Rate of sexual assault in the Canadian Armed Forces rising, StatCan survey suggests

OTTAWA – A new report from Statistics Canada suggests the problem of sexual misconduct in the military is getting worse.

The survey suggests 3.5 per cent of Canadian Armed Forces personnel say they were sexually assaulted by another military member in 2022.

… Victims of these assaults were more likely to be women, the survey found, and they were disproportionately younger, Indigenous, members of the LGBTQ+ community or people with disabilities.

Maybe the CAF needs to go to a healing lodge.
