Université du Québec à Montréal

Published purpose

Through this 28-month project, the Université du Québec à Montréal, via the Chaire de recherche sur les violences sexistes et sexuelles en milieu d’enseignement supérieur (research chair on gender-based and sexual violence in higher education), will conduct research that will help improve gender-based violence services for at-risk groups. The project will address issues surrounding attitudes and behaviours on sexual consent, conformity to gender stereotypes, and sexual victimization of young Quebecers. To achieve this goal, the project will include a literature review and scientific monitoring, data collection through an online survey and individual interviews, engaging key partners in analyzing the results and formulating recommendations, producing dissemination tools, and carrying out knowledge mobilization activities to inform others of the research findings. These activities will be carried out through sharing the total project costs, with 50% of the funding provided by Women and Gender Equality Canada and 50% provided by the Université du Québec à Montréal.
