OTTAWA — More than a quarter of women in the Canadian military have been sexually assaulted during their careers, according to a survey by the government’s statistical agency.
The survey, conducted by Statistics Canada and released on Monday, was commissioned by the armed forces and followed a scathing 2015 report that found that the culture of the military was “hostile to women and L.G.T.B.Q. members and conducive to more serious incidents” involving sexual harassment and assault.
