The following questions ask about sexual victimization that you may have experienced in the past 12 months.

Remember that all information provided is strictly confidential. Your responses are important whether or not you have had any of these experiences.

These questions may be emotionally difficult, and it's important that they are asked of everyone to give us a better understanding of what people have experienced.

- all incidents that occurred outside the military workplace involving military members (CAF or foreign), DND employees, or DND contractors

A military workplace is anywhere in a DND office building, on a base, wing, or ship, including barracks and messes, as well as deployments, temporary duty (TD)/attached posting, and training courses. The military workplace also includes sanctioned events (events approved by the Chain of Command or someone in authority within a unit), such as parades, mess dinners, unit parties, unit sports activities, adventure training, or course parties.

Military members could be Regular or Reserve Force members, or foreign military members.
