Annual cost of sexual
assault in Canada
Survivors of sexual assault experience profound psychological, emotional, and physical trauma. Sexual assault has a ripple effect. Survivors are often unable to continue working or studying and their immediate circle of friends and family also suffer.
The estimated costs of sexual assaults is $2 billion CAD annually in direct medical costs, missed education, lost wages, and decreased productivity.
IMPACT ON ORGANIZERS
Organizers also suffer. The goal of all festival organizers is to provide a memorable safe and enjoyable experience for their attendees. The trauma of assault impacts the staff, organizers, supporters and overall community. The impact is emotional, organizational, and has financial repercussions.
Mitigating the risk of sexual assault is a important success factor for any event.
