A new study says more Canadian university and college students who identify as women were sexually assaulted in a postsecondary setting over a year than those who identify as men.

Students walk on the campus of the University of Guelph on Friday, March 24, 2017. A new study says more Canadian university and college students who identify as women were sexually assaulted in a postsecondary setting over a year than those who identify as men, with the majority of sexual assaults perpetrated by other students.

The data show students also carried out the majority of other unwanted sexualized behaviours such as catcalls and unwelcome physical contact, with 80 per cent of women and 86 per cent of men who experienced such behaviours saying their peers were behind the incidents. "People who experience unwanted sexualized behaviours can feel disrespected, uncomfortable and unsafe, and this type of victimization can have immediate and long-term impacts on well-being and mental health," the study says.

Women were more likely than men to view unwanted sexualized behaviours as offensive, though some, such as taking or posting inappropriate photos of any student without consent, were seen as offensive by large proportions of both women and men. Women were more likely to report that they didn't intervene because they felt uncomfortable, with 48 per cent citing that reason compared with 25 per cent of men.

But few students who experienced unwanted sexual behaviours or were sexually assaulted said they discussed it with someone associated with the school.

That identify as women? Probably the ones that actually are women are more at risk.

Get rid of alcohol on campus.

SHOULD NOT BE 1 among ALL the secondary students. It's not always female students but male students will be more reluctant to divulge being assaulted. This also means there are many teachers who are ASSAULTING students. With 1 in 10 = 10 in 100, 100 in 1,000, 1,000 in 10,000.

That sound right...might be worst
