December 2017- a legal breakthrough in the field of sexual violence prevention in Quebec <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In December 2017, Quebec passed Act P-22.1, An Act to prevent and fight sexual violence in higher education institutions<\/a>. To help higher education meet the requirements of this law, and implement a sexual violence policy if they did not already have one, the Minist\u00e8re de l’Enseignement sup\u00e9rieur (MES) created and published three resources (only available in French): le Rapport de mise en \u0153uvre de la Loi, le Guide d\u2019accompagnement and le Bilan de la reddition de compte de l\u2019exercice 2021 \u2013 2022.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its focus on awareness, prevention, and support for survivors, the law aims to not only reduce sexual violence in C\u00e9geps, universities, and other higher education institutions, but also to \u201chelp foster a healthy and safe living environment for students and personnel members\u201d [Act P-22.1, L.Q. 2017, c. 1, art. 1]. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Act P-22.1 – Introduction of the law  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Act P-22.1 defines sexual violence as \u201cany form of violence committed through sexual practices or by targeting sexuality, including sexual assault<\/em>\u201d [Act P-22.1, L.Q. 2017, c. 1, art. 1]. The Act also includes misconduct based on sexual and gender diversity, as well as \u201cunwanted direct or indirect gestures, comments, behaviours or attitudes with sexual connotations, including by a technological means<\/em>\u201d in its definition [Act P-22.1, L.Q. 2017, c. 1, art. 1]. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Act P-22.1 Implementation Report \u2013 Le rapport de mise en \u0153uvre de la Loi<\/em><\/a><\/em> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This report describes the essential elements of the Act as well as different ideas on how to incorporate them into the higher education institution\u2019s sexual violence policy. These elements, such as security measures, obligatory training, a procedure for filing complaints, psychosocial services, support services, and a code of conduct [Loi P-22.1, L.Q. 2017, c. 2, art. 3], were designed to tackle sexual violence from several angles. As such, the report aims to amplify and improve the institution\u2019s sexual violence policy by making it an effective part of the organisational culture in higher education institutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To support the institutions, the MES set up a three-stage action plan that consists of: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Prevention <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Survivor support <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Survivor support development <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Act P-22.1 Support Guide – Le guide d\u2019accompagnement<\/a> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        This guidebook lists the 15 necessary components to include in a sexual violence prevention policy. In addition, the guidebook also provides a framework for addressing relationships, and related power dynamics, between students and professors in higher education institutions.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Act P-22.1 2021-2022 Assessment Infographic \u2013 Infographie du bilan de reddition de compte \u2013 Exercice 2021-2022<\/em><\/a>  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Related to article 12 of Act P-22.1, the MES analyzed each higher education institution\u2019s annual report on sexual violence prevention and produced a diagram. This document summarizes the data on policy accessibility, standing committees, security, incident reporting, complaints, code of conduct, awareness raising, and training.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Organization: Minist\u00e8re de l\u2019Enseignement sup\u00e9rieur <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        The Minist\u00e8re de l\u2019Enseignement sup\u00e9rieur<\/em> is Quebec\u2019s governing body for matters relating to higher education. With its projects and Acts, as well as a vision that incorporates success, excellence, and access, the MES supports both the student communities and the educational institutions across the province. The MES drafted Bill 151 in an effort to curb sexual violence on campuses. After the bill had passed, the MES was responsible for ensuring the implementation of the law and its adherence. The Minist\u00e8re<\/em> also offers support for higher education institutions seeking further information regarding sexual violence prevention.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
