CARBC researchers contribute to federal brief on sexual violence against women

Status of Women Canada recently released an issue brief on sexual violence against women in Canada, written by CARBC researchers Cecilia Benoit, Leah Shumka, Rachel Phillips and Lynne Belle-Isle, as well as former CARBC grad student Mary Clare Kennedy.

"While Canada has made concerted efforts to understand, address and prevent domestic and intimate partner violence," the brief states,"the issue of sexual violence has not received the same attention and resources."
