Sexual violence in Canadian schools: Student-led organization calling for more resources, earlier consent education

, published in 2017, reported that there were 636,000 self-reported incidents of sexual assault in 2014 in Canada. Of those self-reported sexual assaults, 47 per cent were committed against young women and girls between the ages of 15 and 24."I remember my friends, other kids… in Grade 7 getting sent or sending unsolicited text messages and we really don't realize the severity and the prevalence of this issue," she said.

school boards and all levels of government could take, including implementing stand-alone sexual violence and sexual harassment policies, ending dress code policies, and offering ongoing training for staff, parents and students. "I have tried to address the situation [of sexual harassment] a couple of times within my own school board and… I think they're a little bit hesitant when approaching this issue just because I know it has the triggering aspect of the circumstances," Ibbotson said.

"A lot of students are really thankful that we're taking initiative," she said. "I think a lot of students really appreciate the hard work that it takes to try to implement these changes and try and educate others and push for consent education."

Student stabbed at central Alberta high school, 16-year-old arrested: RCMPhomeoffreedumb They can have it. Can’t expect kids to know how to behave when their parents don’t. Instead of spending billions of dollars forcing students to get injections/cv jabs they do not need or should have, how about we stop the shootings and stabbings happening daily to these youth in the GTA NO big Pharma cartel needs its 100's of billions I guess. Time to change the laws as we can see knives are as dangerous as guns, but the charges for carrying a knife on your belt isn’t the same. Some one dies from a knife then charge them with murder as you would with a gun. Enough is enough.
