EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Department of Justice Canada undertook the Survey of Sexual Assault Survivors in
collaboration with the Canadian Association of Sexual Assault Centres (CASAC) and eleven of
its member centres.1The objectives of the survey were to gain a better understanding of:
- what sexual assault survivors consider when deciding whether or not to report their abuse to the police;
- the impact of possible record disclosure on that decision;
- the experiences of survivors who do report; and
- what women would change in how the criminal justice system handles sexual assault cases.
1 The participating centres are listed in Appendix 1.
