The issue of sexual assault and harassment has riveted public attention lately, and many Montrealers are feeling the stress from ongoing or past incidents of sexual coercion and/or violence. If you or someone close to you is suffering, there are many community resources available to provide support and guidance — or simply a non-judgmental sounding board for your stories.
