Note: Spousal violence includes physical and sexual violence. Includes those who are legally married or living common law, and those who are separated or divorced from a legal marriage or common-law union and have had contact with their former partner in the past five years. Spousal relationships include same gender relationships. As information about gender was collected as of 2019, data from earlier cycles are based on sex (i.e., sex at birth) instead of gender (i.e., gender identity or gender expression). Missing responses are included in percent calculations. For comparability over time, trend analysis is limited to the territories. Due to differences in how data were collected, data from the territories cannot be combined with data from the provinces prior to 2014. Confidence intervals should be interpreted as follows: if the survey were repeated many times, then 95% of the time (or 19 times out of 20), the confidence interval would cover the true population value. There were no significant differences between 2019 and other reference years.
