Help For Sexual Assault Victims.

If you are in immediate danger following a sexual assault, we strongly advise you to call 911 or another emergency number - if you feel comfortable doing so - to ensure your safety. However, if you are not in immediate danger, it is not mandatory to involve the police.

It is common for victims of sexual assault or abuse to feel hesitant about involving the police for various reasons, including stigmas, shame, fear of discrimination, or re-traumatization. These concerns are completely valid, and there are alternative ways in which you can seek help in Toronto.

Toronto Rape Crisis Centre.

Toronto Rape Crisis Centre (TRCC) is a public resource for victims of sexual assault, providing them with anti-oppressive, feminist peer support during their healing journey. They welcome individuals of all genders and identities, offering comprehensive assistance, including counselling, group support, education, advocacy, and activism. For immediate help, call their 24/7 crisis line at 416-597-8808.

Victim Services Toronto.

Another public resource to consider is Victims Services Toronto; they provide immediate, confidential support for anyone in Toronto who has experienced a crime or sudden tragedy, including sexual assault. Like TRCC, Victim Services Toronto also has a 24-hour crisis line (416-808-7066), allowing individuals to speak with a crisis counsellor. Understanding the diversity of the Toronto community, their crisis response team can assist individuals in over 35 languages.

Sexual Assault Laws in Ontario and Canada.

Laws within Ontario - as well as Canada in general - broadly define sexual assault as any unwanted or non-consensual sexual activity, including unwelcome sexual touching, kissing, and rape. Consent must be expressed through affirmative words or actions; silence or passivity do not imply consent. Additionally, consent can be revoked at any moment during sexual activity, even if it was initially given.
