Canadian law describes sexual violence as ‘violating the sexual integrity of another person’ (Criminal Code of Canada, S. 271; R v Chase, 1987), but this definition is not widely understood particularly among post-secondary students. This may explain why the prevalence of sexual violence has not changed in over 30 years. There are various ways consent education is delivered at post-secondary institutions (PSIs) across Canada, which provokes us to consider its efficacy. Generally, PSIs support consent education but rarely invest in staff or a mandatory platform to educate everyone across campus. This chapter considers how existing sexual consent education falls short and how PSIs need to change, so that delivery is consistent, comprehensive, and mandatory for all students, faculty, and staff at Canadian post-secondary institutions.

摘要

Canadian law describes sexual violence as ‘violating the sexual integrity of another person’ (Criminal Code of Canada, S. 271; R v Chase, 1987), but this definition is not widely understood particularly among post-secondary students. This may explain why the prevalence of sexual violence has not changed in over 30 years. There are various ways consent education is delivered at post-secondary institutions (PSIs) across Canada, which provokes us to consider its efficacy. Generally, PSIs support consent education but rarely invest in staff or a mandatory platform to educate everyone across campus. This chapter considers how existing sexual consent education falls short and how PSIs need to change, so that delivery is consistent, comprehensive, and mandatory for all students, faculty, and staff at Canadian post-secondary institutions.
