There are 460,000 sexual assaults in Canada every year, according to YWCA Canada. Considering the Canadian population sits below 36 million, that number is shocking.

Students across Canada are fighting for safer schools and up-to-date sexual assault policies that would help combat sexual assaults on campuses.
