The Montreal woman, now 20, spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of her allegations.
Sophie and her group are undaunted. They say the status quo isn’t working and that Quebec students are too afraid to come forward when they are sexually harassed, abused or assaulted by peers or staff in schools.Their campaign for a provincial law dates back a few years, but it recently regained momentum after a wave of public denunciations of sexual violence began on social media across Quebec in July.
“The young person is stuck with the psychological ramifications,” Augustin said in recent interview. “Some youth told me, ‘I don’t want to go to school. I don’t want to walk next to my abuser.
