An unbroken line of sexual violence runs through Canadian culture intergenerationally. And unreported assaults are too common. Great grandmothers, grandmothers, mothers, daughters recount stories. 

Grateful to the G&M for taking up the issue of sexual assault and rape in compelling Unfounded reports. 

Glad to hear there are 45 report recommendations. Liberals: Listen and Act. Yes, the government must collect these stats. 

G&M comments denounce victims and insist they don't tell the truth etc. in spite of telling statistics. These comments underscore how misogyny and sexism still play a big role in disciplining women. Some suggest sobriety is a quick fix. Really. That's the solution? Why not tell us to stay home? Don't go out at night. Never marry. etc

When will men who act out aggression and hatred of women give up their will to dominate with violence? Bystanders must intervene. Educate the public, police, udiciary about consent law and the enduring harm caused by sexual violence.
