Sexual assault is any unwanted act of a sexual nature imposed by one person upon another,
including rape and any other unwanted fondling or touching.

Statistics show that nearly all sexual assaults are committed by men against women or 
children.  A very small percentage of sexual assault victims are adult men.

Sexual assault is, unfortunately, a much too frequent part of women's lives.  Conservative 
statistics document that 1 in 4 Canadian women will be sexually assaulted at some time in their lives.

• Sexual assault is an act of violence, control and domination.

• Sexual assault is a crime, even in a marriage or dating relationship.

• Sexual assault occurs in all kinds of communities - from larger urban centres to small isolated towns or rural areas.

A person is not responsible for being sexually assaulted, 
regardless of the circumstances, how they reacted or whether they resisted.
The abuser is responsible.
