The 2014 GSS Footnote 6 found that 10% E of Indigenous women self-reported having been assaulted by a current or former spouse within the last five years compared with 3% of their non-Indigenous counterparts. Footnote 5 Self-reported spousal violence of Indigenous women three times higher than non-Indigenous women More specifically, a larger proportion of Indigenous girls (14%) self-reported experiencing both physical and sexual maltreatment before the age of 15 than Indigenous boys (5% E). There was a higher proportion of Indigenous people who self-reported being physically or sexually maltreated before the age of 15 (40%) than non-Indigenous people (29%). Self-reported rate of maltreatment of Indigenous girls before the age of 15 close to triple that of Indigenous boys The rate of sexual assault self-reported by Indigenous women (113 E Footnote 4 per 1,000) was more than triple that of non-Indigenous women (35 per 1,000). Footnote 1 Self-reported rate of sexual assault of Indigenous women more than triple that of non-Indigenous womenĪccording to the 2014 General Social Survey (GSS) on Victimization Footnote 2, the rate of self-reported sexual assault of Indigenous people (58 E Footnote 3 per 1,000) was almost triple that of non-Indigenous people (20 per 1,000).
While all women and girls in Canadian society face an unacceptable risk of violence, particularly at the hands of intimate partners, research shows that Indigenous women and girls self-report experiencing dramatically higher rates of violent victimization.
