Note 1

Total does not equal the sum of the categories of sexual assault as they are not mutually exclusive. Respondents were asked to indicate each type of sexual assault they experienced. Total reflects the number of Regular Force members who reported being the victim of at least one type of sexual assault.

Note 2

The gender diverse population include those who report a gender other than male or female, those who report being unsure of their gender, those who report being both male and female and those who report being neither male nor female. This category was added to the 2018 cycle as part of the updates to Statistics Canada standards for collecting information on sex and gender. As a result, comparable information is not available for 2016.

Note: Includes those who were sexually assaulted in the past 12 months. Includes sexual assaults which occurred in the military workplace and outside the military workplace involving military members (Canadian Armed Forces or foreign) and/or Department of National Defence civilians or contractors. All estimates have been rounded to the nearest 10. Estimates have been rounded independently; therefore, the sum of the rounded categories may not equal the rounded total. Percent calculations are based on unrounded estimates and exclude missing responses. Differences between 2016 and 2018 are not statistically significant.
