SPECIAL REPORT: Sexual assault at Queen’s.
In 2013, 2.1 per cent of Queen’s students surveyed by HCDS reported that they were sexually penetrated without their consent in the past year.
That year, Campus Security received just one report of sexual assault. The Kingston Sexual Assault Centre estimates that 90 per cent of its clients don’t report their assaults to the police.
Over the past month, the Journal spoke to Kingston police, Queen’s administration, community organizations, professors and survivors of sexual violence about the silence.
