Women in Canada’s military face greater harm from comrades than enemy, says judge

Leadership incapable of examining which aspects of its culture have been the most deficient,' writes Louise Arbour in report

Some members of the Canadian military face greater harm from their comrades than from the enemy, according to a new report on sexual violence in the Canadian armed forces (CAF).

Called the Arbour report after its author, the former supreme court justice Louise Arbour, the 404-page document pinpoints the many failures of the CAF over the years to address misogyny, discrimination, sexual violence and trauma experienced predominantly by female members of the military.
