Unfortunately, gender-based violence on post-secondary campuses is a big problem. In fact, 4 in 5 female undergraduate students report being a victim of dating violence and 29% report having experienced sexual assault.

CASA advocates for post-secondary institutions to establish stand-alone sexual assault policies and has presented to the Committee on the Status of Women on this subject. CASA was pleased to see government take a step forward on this issue, by investing $100.9 million to establish a National Strategy to Address Gender-Based Violence.
