Online:

  • Cybertip.ca - Canada’s tipline for reporting the online sexual abuse and exploitation of children.
  • NeedHelpNow.ca - Helps teens stop the spread of sexual pictures or videos.
  • TechWithoutViolence.ca - Resources to help prevent, respond to and support individuals experiencing online gender-based violence or harassment—known as cyberviolence. 
  • abuse-free-sport.ca/helpline - support with sexualized abuse and sport   

Perpetrators (or the people who commit assaults) have often been victims of sexualized assault themselves, or they have never had proper sexual health education. 

It is important they seek counselling and are held legally responsible for their actions.
