RAPPORT DE SONDAGE

Introduction
Le présent rapport dresse un tableau d’ensemble des résultats du sondage intitulé Ce qui vous
inciterait à agir pour mettre fin à la violence masculine envers les femmes et les jeunes filles
réalisé par la Direction de la condition féminine du gouvernement du Yukon entre le 1er et le
31 août 2011.
Pourquoi mettre l’accent sur la violence envers les femmes? Elle a des répercussions sur l’ensemble
de la population du Yukon. Elle se produit partout (en public, dans le milieu familial, dans des
contextes intimes) et n’importe quelle femme peut en être victime. Il s’agit d’un sujet complexe
étroitement lié à l’égalité de la femme dans la société. En dernière analyse, tous sont touchés par
la violence envers les femmes, que ce soit directement ou indirectement.
Pourquoi ne cibler que la violence envers les femmes? Plusieurs participants ont posé la question.
Les actes de violence à l’endroit des hommes et des garçons sont différents de ceux perpétrés contre
les femmes et les jeunes filles à bien des égards. Alors que les hommes sont plus susceptibles
d’être agressés par un étranger dans un endroit public ou dans un contexte social, les femmes sont
plus à risque d’être victimisées par un partenaire intime dans leur propre domicile. Les femmes
sont aussi plus à risque de violence sexuelle. Au Canada, les forces policières reçoivent un appel
environ toutes les 20 minutes pour signaler une agression sexuelle, mais on estime qu’en réalité
il se produit probablement une agression sexuelle toutes les 2 minutes, ce qui veut dire que neuf
agressions sur dix ne sont pas signalées aux autorités (Rapport de Statistique Canada, Statistiques
sur les crimes déclarés par la police au Canada, 2010). Les taux d’infractions sexuelles sont 3 fois
plus élevés au Yukon que dans n’importe quelle des provinces (Rapport de Statistique Canada,
Mesure de la violence faite aux femmes : tendances statistiques 2006).
La crainte de la violence est plus profonde chez les femmes, et elle peut les empêcher de participer
comme citoyennes à part entière dans leur collectivité. Une autre étude réalisée par Statistique
Canada en 2008 (La violence familiale : violence conjugale au Canada) a montré que le Nord
affichait toujours la plus forte proportion de cas de violence conjugale et que le Yukon figurait
parmi les régions administratives où le taux d’inculpation pour violence conjugale était le plus élevé.
Les femmes étaient toujours les plus susceptibles d’être les victimes dans les affaires de violence
conjugale signalées à la police, représentant 83 % des victimes par rapport à 17 % pour les
hommes. C’était le cas dans l’ensemble des provinces et territoires canadiens, dans des
proportions semblables.
On citait dans le sondage la définition que donnent les Nations Unies de la violence contre
les femmes, laquelle a orienté le document : « Tous actes de violence dirigés contre le sexe
féminin, et causant ou pouvant causer aux femmes un préjudice ou des souffrances physiques,
sexuelles ou psychologiques, y compris la menace de tels actes, la contrainte ou la privation
arbitraire de liberté, que ce soit dans la vie publique ou dans la vie privée. »
Le sondage fait partie d’une campagne de marketing social menée sur trois ans
(de 2010 à 2013) par la Direction de la condition féminine du gouvernement du Yukon
afin de sensibiliser la population à la violence envers les femmes et les jeunes filles.
RAPPORT DE SONDAGE
Cette campagne est l’une des mesures devant permettre d’atteindre le deuxième objectif
de la Stratégie d’aide aux victimes d’actes criminels du ministère de la Justice du Yukon,
« Ensemble vers demain » :
1. Accentuer l’importance accordée aux besoins des victimes
2. S’attaquer au problème de la violence envers les femmes
3. Examiner les solutions législatives possibles
4. Encourager le mentorat et le renforcement des capacités communautaires
5. Harmoniser les interventions menées auprès des victimes, des contrevenants,
des familles et des collectivités
La Direction de la condition féminine du gouvernement du Yukon a effectué le sondage Ce qui vous
inciterait à agir pour mettre fin à la violence masculine envers les femmes et les jeunes filles afin
d’avoir une meilleure idée de ce qui suit : 1) ce que les répondants savaient de la violence envers
les femmes et les jeunes filles; 2) ce qu’ils étaient prêts à faire pour mettre fin à cette violence;
3) ce qu’il faudrait faire pour s’assurer la participation des hommes au débat et les inciter à agir
pour faire cesser la violence envers les femmes et les jeunes filles.
On demandait aussi aux répondants d’évaluer eux-mêmes leur niveau de sensibilisation à
la violence envers les femmes et d’indiquer si cette dernière était une de leurs préoccupations.
Remerciements
Le présent rapport est le fruit du travail entrepris et mené à bien par les membres du Comité
de travail interorganismes sur la violence envers les femmes et les jeunes filles, c’est-à-dire
Renée-Claude Carrier (Kaushee’s Place), Annette King et Connie Gleason (ministère de la
Justice du Yukon), Ann MacDonald et Alexandra Gesheva (ministère de l’Éducation du Yukon),
Josephine O’Brien (représentante des jeunes), Joella Hogan (représentante des femmes
autochtones), et Kevin Barr (représentant des hommes). Nous sommes aussi reconnaissantes
au Bureau des statistiques du Yukon pour ses judicieux conseils et au ministère de la Justice du
Yukon pour son appui financier. Nous aimerions également remercier les organismes qui ont
fait la promotion du sondage et tous ceux et celles qui y ont répondu.
Survol des résultats
Médias
Comme on pouvait s’y attendre, les répondants ont indiqué à la question qui portait sur leurs
deux principales sources d’information qu’Internet venait en premier lieu, suivi de la télévision et
des journaux. Ils se sont dits plus ou moins préoccupés par l’image qu’on donne de la femme
dans les médias. Cela dit, des 39 personnes qui ont fait des commentaires, 10 ont déploré
l’hypersexualisation de la femme dans les médias.

Niveau de préoccupation et de sensibilisation en ce qui a trait
à la violence contre les femmes et les jeunes filles
Quelque 93 % des répondantes ont indiqué être très préoccupées par la violence envers les
femmes et les jeunes filles; chez les hommes, ce pourcentage s’élevait à 73 %. Bien que certains
commentaires montrent que leurs auteurs sont conscients du fait que la violence peut aussi être
d’ordre émotionnel ou psychologique, la plupart des répondants semblent surtout s’attarder à
la violence physique. En réponse à la question sur leur niveau d’intérêt par rapport à la prévention
de violence, 93 % des femmes et 92 % des hommes se sont dits un peu ou énormément intéressés,
et leurs commentaires corroboraient la chose. Ils ont indiqué qu’ils appuyaient la mise en œuvre
de programmes de prévention et de campagnes de sensibilisation à grand déploiement pour
éliminer la violence envers les femmes au Yukon. Cependant, bien que la question les intéresse,
ils avouent être peu informés sur les programmes de prévention déjà en place.
Prévention et intervention
Le sondage visait non seulement à mesurer le niveau de préoccupation et de connaissance des
répondants par rapport à la violence envers les femmes, mais aussi à explorer certaines questions
entourant la prévention et la volonté d’intervention. Les réponses à ces questions guideront la façon
dont on aborde la prévention et l’intervention durant la campagne de marketing social. La plupart
des répondants (soit 90 %, à peu d’écart près chez les femmes et les hommes) ont dit être prêts à
prendre des mesures pour que cesse la violence contre les femmes; toutefois, un peu plus de la
moitié d’entre eux (53 %) ont dit n’avoir aucune idée ou ne pas avoir d’idée claire sur ce qu’il pourrait
faire en ce sens. Tous ont indiqué qu’ils interviendraient si une de leurs connaissances était victime
de violence. Soixante-douze pour cent ont dit avoir aidé une femme victime de violence dans le passé.
Peu de répondants (seulement 6 %) opteraient pour affronter l’agresseur directement, que ce soit
verbalement ou physiquement, s’ils étaient témoins d’une situation de violence envers une femme.
En réponse à la question sur ce qui les empêcherait d’agir, 21 % ont dit qu’ils ne sauraient pas quoi
faire, 20 % qu’ils auraient peur que ça dégénère en bagarre et 17 % qu’ils auraient peur d’une
réaction brutale. Plus d’hommes que de femmes (10 % contre 3 %) ont dit qu’ils affronteraient
l’agresseur verbalement.
Les hommes et les femmes ont fait sensiblement les mêmes choix parmi la liste de mesures qu’ils
seraient prêts à prendre pour promouvoir l’élimination de la violence envers les femmes : montrer
l’exemple en ayant des relations saines et un comportement non violent avec les femmes; s’opposer
aux blagues sexistes, à l’homophobie et aux propos dégradants; apprendre à reconnaître et à
dénoncer le harcèlement et la violence au travail, à l’école et dans la famille.
Sur les 432 répondants, 299 ont laissé sans réponse la question portant sur une potentielle
contribution à la violence envers les femmes et la plupart ont fait le commentaire qu’ils ne se
comporteraient jamais de façon violente envers leur partenaire. Il y en a eu toutefois 133 qui ont indiqué
avoir eu envie, dans au moins une de leurs relations, de pousser, de gifler, de frapper ou d’insulter
leur partenaire. En général, dans les commentaires accompagnant ces réponses, leurs auteurs ont
précisé que, bien qu’ils aient eu une telle impulsion, ils n’iraient jamais jusqu’à passer à l’acte.
On trouvera aux pages 5 et suivantes les résultats détaillés du sondage.

Méthodologie
Au début du projet, l’analyste en marketing social de la Direction de la condition féminine a
rencontré les membres du Comité de travail interorganismes sur la violence envers les femmes
et les jeunes filles pour passer en revue avec eux les objectifs du projet, discuter de la structure du
sondage, préparer les questions et mettre la dernière touche à la stratégie de communication.
L’enquête Ce qui vous inciterait à agir pour mettre fin à la violence masculine envers les femmes et
les jeunes filles a permis de sonder l’opinion d’un échantillon de 432 résidents du Yukon qui pouvaient
y répondre en ligne ou remplir le formulaire imprimé distribué par des organismes désignés.
Le sondage s’est déroulé du 1er au 31 août 2011. La majorité des répondants était de Whitehorse.
Les liens menant au sondage (en version anglaise et française) ont été diffusés à grande échelle :
• télévision par câble (postes 8 et 9) durant le mois d’août;
• cinq journaux locaux et deux bulletins communautaires;
• sept sites Web et 15 pages Facebook et plusieurs utilisateurs
de messageries électroniques avaient inclus le lien dans leur signature;
• L’Aurore boréale;
• deux entrevues à la radio (une sur les ondes de CBC, l’autre de CHON);
Des exemplaires imprimés du sondage étaient distribués par certains organismes communautaires
clés et au bureau de chacune des Premières nations. Le lien à la version en ligne a été annoncé
sur plusieurs sites Web et pages Facebook, dans les journaux et sur des affiches durant le mois
d’août 2011. Nous espérions recevoir 300 sondages remplis; les résultats sont allés au-delà de
nos attentes et nous en avons reçu 432.
Tous pouvaient y participer, mais la publicité avait ciblé les hommes, qui ont compté pour
28 % des répondants.
Les résultats ont été classés selon le sexe (homme ou femme). Tous les répondants se sont identifiés
en tant qu’homme ou femme, bien que le choix « autre » leur fût offert.
Nous avions laissé de la place pour des commentaires afin de recueillir le maximum d’information
des répondants.

Quarante personnes ont fait des commentaires pour expliquer leurs préoccupations par rapport à l’image
qu’on donne de la femme dans les médias. Six répondants ont dit éviter les postes de télévision et de radio
commerciaux et privilégier les médias qui s’efforcent de présenter des personnes fortes et intelligentes.
Les répondants ont admis que de nos jours les médias commerciaux donnent tout de même à voir plus
de personnes fortes que par le passé, mais déplorent le fait qu’il y ait encore deux poids deux mesures
en ce qui concerne les femmes qui occupent des postes de commande (en politiques ou en affaires par
exemple), en ce sens que cette image est encore liée à leur apparence physique.
La majorité des commentaires exprimait l’inquiétude de leurs auteurs quant à l’influence des médias sur
les jeunes, notamment en ce qui concerne leur estime de soi et leur respect d’autrui, et par rapport aux
stéréotypes que véhiculent encore les médias, tant en ce qui touche les hommes que les femmes. Certains ont
dit que la répartition des rôles dans les médias est trompeuse, ce qui est d’autant plus grave que le public
reproduit ces attitudes et comportements. Une personne a dit que la façon dont on traite des agressions
sexuelles dans les médias a souvent pour effet de victimiser de nouveau les femmes qui les ont subies.
« Nous pouvons choisir quels médias nous lisons ou regardons, et par conséquent,
je privilégie les médias qui présentent des personnes fortes et intelligentes. J’aurais
de sérieuses raisons de m’inquiéter si nous n’avions pas ce choix. »

• Les répondants sont surtout au courant des services de « réaction » (c.-à-d. les services offerts aux
récentes victimes de violence) et de l’existence de services de counseling et de défense des droits.
• Deux répondants avaient l’impression qu’il n’y avait pas de services de soutien ni de prévention
pour les hommes et que ces derniers n’ont pas assez d’exemples positifs dans leurs collectivités.
• Les points de vue sont très variés en ce qui concerne les causes de la violence envers les femmes.
• Un répondant était d’avis que la violence est liée à la consommation d’alcool et de drogues;
un autre, que la violence envers les femmes est plus répandue dans les communautés autochtones.

Autre
Les quatre interventions les plus probables sont les mêmes pour les hommes que les femmes : offrir du
soutien à la personne victime de violence; l’encourager à téléphoner à la GRC; lui donner le numéro de
téléphone du refuge pour femmes local ou de la ligne téléphonique de Kaushee’s Place; l’encourager
à communiquer avec les Services aux victimes.
Les répondants ont fait 41 commentaires :
• Un bon nombre d’entre eux ont dit qu’ils demanderaient à la victime quelle action elle souhaite
prendre et l’appuieraient dans sa décision sans la juger.
• Certains ont dit qu’ils aideraient la victime à préparer un plan de sécurité et lui fourniraient
les ressources dont elle a besoin.
• D’autres ont dit qu’ils demanderaient de l’aide des organismes suivants si la situation le justifie :
Victoria Faulkner Women’s Centre (organisme de défense des droits de la femme), Direction de
la condition féminine, Services aux victimes, un auxiliaire parajuridique pour Autochtones.
• Quatre répondants ont dit ne pas faire confiance à la GRC et deux ont dit la même chose à propos
des Services aux victimes. Par conséquent, ils n’encourageraient pas la victime à communiquer avec
ces deux organismes, mais plutôt à obtenir du counseling d’un organisme indépendant.
• Un répondant se demandait si c’était vraiment la chose à faire d’essayer d’aider la victime ou
si au contraire ce n’était pas lui nuire; il craignait, en d’autres mots, que son aide mette la victime
encore plus à risque.

faisant savoir à l’auteur que j’étais là. »

Dans l’ensemble, les femmes étaient plus nombreuses à avoir aidé une femme victime de violence
dans le passé. Qu’il y ait tant de gens qui ont répondu avoir aidé une femme victime de violence pourrait
être attribuable au fait que le Yukon affiche un taux élevé de violence contre les femmes. Le pourcentage
de répondants ayant indiqué n’avoir jamais aidé une femme victime de violence était plus élevé chez
les hommes que chez les femmes (37 % conte 25 %).

19. Vous avez des idées de la façon dont vous pourriez inciter des hommes à parler
de la violence envers les femmes ou à prendre des mesures pour y mettre fin?
Sur les 432 répondants, 205 (58 hommes/147 femmes) ont fourni des commentaires sur la façon d’inciter les
hommes à parler de la violence envers les femmes ou à prendre des mesures pour y mettre fin. Les commentaires abordaient trois thèmes principaux : l’éducation, la participation du public et les facteurs aggravants.
Les 42 commentaires portant sur le premier thème exprimaient l’idée que l’éducation et la sensibilisation des
jeunes à un âge précoce sont des facteurs déterminants pour prévenir la violence masculine envers les femmes.
Leurs auteurs proposaient de « commencer à en parler de bonne heure » aux enfants et aux jeunes et d’intégrer
a prévention de la violence et la résolution de conflits au programme scolaire. D’autres ont parlé de
l’importance de transmettre des valeurs positives aux jeunes en bas âge et de promouvoir de bons modèles
de comportement, particulièrement auprès des jeunes garçons, en précisant que cette dernière mesure est
cruciale pour prévenir la violence.
Le deuxième thème regroupait 99 commentaires suggérant des méthodes différentes d’engager la participation
du public, entre autres la diffusion d’annonces à la télévision et à la radio, la réalisation d’un film, l’utilisation
de médias sociaux, l’organisation de forums, d’ateliers, de conférences. On a aussi avancé l’idée de mettre
sur pied des groupes de soutien pour les hommes et de travailler en collaboration avec les associations
d’hommes existantes. On a suggéré plusieurs différents thèmes autour desquels axer les campagnes visant
à engager la participation du public, entre autres insister sur le fait que toute victime de violence est la fille,
la mère, la sœur ou la conjointe de quelqu’un qui tient à elle. Une autre possibilité serait de montrer des
hommes s’entretenant de la question avec d’autres hommes de façon sérieuse mais non conflictuelle.
La troisième catégorie de commentaires soulignait l’importance de s’attaquer aux problèmes qui sont des
facteurs aggravants et peuvent mener à des comportements violents. La pauvreté, l’alcoolisme, les valeurs
patriarcales et l’image de la femme véhiculée dans les médias sont autant de questions que les répondants
croient nécessaire de régler si on veut éliminer la violence envers les femmes.
Certains commentaires exploraient d’autres thèmes que ceux susmentionnés. On a entre autres fait valoir
que des hommes sont aussi victimes de violence, que la société devrait « dénoncer » la violence plutôt
que de l’accepter, et qu’il faut donner aux hommes les outils dont ils ont besoin pour prévenir la violence.
D’autres ont indiqué qu’ils n’avaient aucune idée de ce qu’on pourrait faire pour inciter les hommes à agir
pour prévenir la violence envers les femmes.

21. Merci d’avoir pris le temps de répondre à ce sondage!
Grâce à vous, les choses peuvent changer!
Soixante-seize répondants (28 hommes/48 femmes) ont laissé un dernier commentaire. Leurs remarques
se répartissaient en trois catégories :
1. Violence et sexe 2. Témoignages
3. Autres remarques
De nombreux répondants ont tenu à souligner le fait que les femmes peuvent aussi se comporter de façon
violente, que ce soit envers les hommes ou d’autres femmes. D’autres étaient d’avis que le mot « violence »
est un peu vague; d’autres encore se sont dits opposés à toute forme de violence.
Dix répondants ont raconté des faits vécus. Leur nombre incluait des personnes ayant déjà travaillé dans
des refuges pour femmes, des conseillers auprès de victimes et d’auteurs de violence conjugale, des parents,
d’anciennes victimes et des personnes qui se sont dressées contre des agresseurs dans le passé.
Un certain nombre de répondants ont fait des commentaires sur la mise en page, la structure et

Conclusion
Ce que nous avons appris
Il est ressorti du sondage que la plupart des répondants sont d’avis qu’il faut éduquer le public davantage
si on veut enrayer la violence envers les femmes et les jeunes filles. La campagne de marketing social
devra faire fond sur les facteurs qui ont motivé les répondants et cibler les gens qui sont désireux
d’intervenir, comme le laisse suggérer le fort pourcentage de personnes qui ont participé au sondage.
Les répondants pourraient eux-mêmes agir comme ambassadeurs et motiver leurs pairs, leurs collègues
et les membres de leur famille à se joindre au mouvement pour changer les comportements relativement
à la violence dont les femmes sont victimes.
On note que 16 répondants ont recommandé que la violence envers les femmes soit abordée en classe
dès le niveau primaire et soit intégrée au programme scolaire. Certains ont mentionné qu’il faudrait
donner aux garçons et aux hommes les outils dont ils ont besoin pour agir et les éduquer sur les moyens
qu’ils pourraient prendre pour prévenir la violence envers les femmes dans leur collectivité.
Sept répondants sont d’avis qu’il faut s’attaquer aux problèmes sociaux comme l’alcoolisme et la
toxicomanie, la pauvreté et les valeurs patriarcales si on veut éliminer la violence envers les femmes et
les jeunes filles. D’autres ont dit qu’il faudrait lever le discrédit entourant la question si on veut engager
la participation des hommes, car nombre d’entre eux sont sur la défensive dès qu’on aborde le sujet.
Les répondants ont aussi souligné le fait que ce n’est pas tâche facile de changer les comportements
sociaux vis-à-vis de la violence envers les femmes et les jeunes filles et qu’il faut envisager une campagne
de longue durée. Selon les commentaires recueillis, il faudrait que la campagne soit axée sur les pères
de jeunes filles; qu’elle montre les hommes sous un jour favorable, en tant que personnes capables de
prendre soin d’une autre; qu’elle donne à voir des modèles de comportements positifs; et qu’elle montre
l’effet des comportements masculins sur la dynamique de violence envers les femmes et les jeunes filles.
En réponse à la question Vous avez des idées de la façon dont vous pourriez inciter des hommes à parler de la
violence envers les femmes ou à prendre des mesures pour y mettre fin?, 18 ont dit n’avoir aucune idée, qu’ils
déploraient le fait et aimeraient bien savoir comment s’y prendre, mais que pour le moment rien de leur venait.
Il ressort aussi des commentaires reçus qu’on ne peut s’attendre à ce que les répondants interviennent
pour prévenir la violence envers les femmes si on ne fait rien pour apaiser les peurs que cela soulève
(peur d’une réaction brutale, peur d’être blessé émotivement ou physiquement, peur de perdre des amis
et peur des répercussions sociales). La campagne de marketing social devra être conçue de manière à
aborder l’apathie qui en accable plusieurs et à fournir au public cible diverses solutions que pourraient
envisager les personnes qui veulent s’investir pour mettre fin à la violence envers les femmes.
Les résultats ont toutefois montré que dans l’ensemble, les répondants n’hésiteraient pas à prendre des
mesures pour prévenir la violence envers les femmes, dans certaines circonstances. Certains ont même dit
qu’ils agissaient déjà en ce sens dans leur quotidien. Les réponses recueillies nous donnent une bonne idée
de l’orientation et de la direction que devra suivre toute future campagne de sensibilisation à la violence
envers les femmes.
Le sondage était lui-même un outil de sensibilisation et quelques répondants nous ont dit qu’ils sont mieux
renseignés sur la violence envers les femmes grâce à leur participation au sondage. Une personne a dit que
le sondage lui a permis de se rendre compte qu’elle était antérieurement engagée dans une relation de violence.
Pour terminer, nous sommes très contentes que le sondage ait généré une aussi forte participation et nous
espérons que les données recueillies s’avéreront utiles à la mise sur pied de futures initiatives qui peuvent
contribuer à prévenir la violence contre les femmes.

Question 5 : Est-ce que la façon dont on représente les femmes
dans les médias vous préoccupe?
Comments
Concerned about how women are portrayed (6)
•
•
“I think it has changed a lot in the past 20 years, for the better.”
•
“Extreme sexualisation of girls and women, shortage of strong and complex female role
models, double standard with greater scrutiny of women in positions of leadership such as
in politics and business, lack of women portrayed as athletes and also underrepresented
in key decision making roles in film, theatre and other arts.”
•
“It really varies. Some portrayals are fine, while others are alarming.
Certainly there are stronger women portrayed than in the past...”
•
•
« Les hommes ont souvent l’air d’imbéciles et les femmes des poupounes (femmes objet). »
“I am pleased to see some strong female characters on T.V. shows such as Bones,
Ziva on NCIS and Olivia on Law & Order SVU.”
« Le corps de la femme est marchandise, l’image qu’on présente de la femme exerce une forte
pression sociale sur celle-ci, de plus les hommes se trouvent aussi socialisés par cette
représentation diminutive de la femme ce qui nuit aux relations entre hommes et femmes. »
Concerned about sexualisation and commercialisation of women (14)
•
•
•
•
•
“Over commercialized.”
•
•
“Too sexualized.“
•
•
•
•
•
“Particularly in movies where women are sexualized for the benefit of men.”
“Sleazy is not cool though, some ads portray that stereotype to superficial.”
“More variety, more authenticity, less sexuality needed.”
“Too much sexualisation of people in media.”
“Very sexist and when sexual assaults happen it is always portrayed that it was
somehow the woman’s fault...”
“Sex objects; women don’t look real; over-painted and scantily dressed
and generally not very bright.”
“Over sexualized.”
“Overly sexualized and objectified.”
“Over-sexualisation of young girls, female athletes, etc.”
“Very few of the current female pop stars wear pants... as silly as that observation is,
I think it is a symptom of the media machine... the women’s bodies have to be on display
fully all the time. Also female pop singers and actors are slimmer.”

«Ça ne les aide pas à être elles-mêmes, pleines et vraies. »
«Beaucoup des images hyper-sexualisées; pression à consommer des biens
pour éviter une culpabilisation collective.... »
Concerned about stereotype and roles (2)
•
“More concerned about portrayal of a desirable modern lifestyle and
narrow roles of men and women”
•
“Media continues to present woman either/or helpless or in dominating,
powerful positions trying to emulate men but coming off as “bitchy”.
Same stereotypes as always but in different formats.”
Concerned for men and women (3)
•
•
•
“Not any more than the way men are portrayed – both are stereotyped.”
“Should read ”women AND men”.”
“Men and women are both portrayed in stereo-typical ways which then are over-amplified.
The result is that role modeling from media is misconstrued and attitudes and behaviours
are mimicked in ways which should not happen.”
Concerned for parents (2)
•
•
“I have three daughters.”
“It’s not just an issue for parents with daughters. I have two sons and I worry
about what they are learning about women from media.”
Concerned about self–respect for self and others (3)
•
•
•
“It is having a major effect on our teens regarding self-respect and respecting each other.”
“This effects young people, male & female.”
“The impacts it could have on future generations as youth are being actively
exposed to media images.”
Concerned about mass media (6)
•
•
“This is part of the reason I cancelled my cable.”
•
•
•
“Not all media is negative but it still exists.”
•
“We have the power to choose which media we observe, and to that extent I choose
to accept media that portrays strong intelligent people. I would have been very concerned
if I did not have that choice.”
“I abstain from commercial TV/radio, because I don’t like the way they portray much of the
world (women included). In this regard, I am somewhat less aware (and less preoccupied or
“concerned”, than I might be if it was in my face all day. I could be said to be ‘very concerned.”
“I might be more concerned if I paid more attention to mass media.”
“I rarely watch TV, so when I do, I am shocked at the stereotyping of women, men,
gays/lesbians, and black people. I credit my TV-free childhood for allowing me to develop
as a human being first, not having been brainwashed into believing that women think
and act in certain stereotyped ways.”

“I am a spousal abuse counsellor.”
“As a direct client service provider, trauma informed and personal/family experiences.”
“Spouse of a social worker.”
“Was very involved in the past - not so current today.”
Some knowledge (6)
•
“I know it happens and not much is done to stop it on the men’s side, they have no support
groups and not enough positive influence from other men or sources. Women do have
places to go but children often or over looked in the counselling services available.”
•
“I know it is more prevalent amongst First Nations communities and that a man convicted
of beating his girlfriend in Alaska was just re-voted into “chief” role.”
•
“I am aware that the North has higher than average levels of violence against women,
and that First Nations women are at even greater risk.”
•
•
•
“I know where to get information, and what type of emergency housing is available.”
“Mostly aware of reaction services, some advocacy, don’t hear much about prevention.”
“The issue of violence against women prevention? Are you asking what my knowledge
is on the prevention of violence against women in the Yukon? To that degree I have
participated in workshops promoting healthy relationships to teenagers and I have seen
the advertisements promoting non-violence. If you are asking about my knowledge
and understand about how women are frequently confronted with rape and abuse at
higher rates in the north, I would say that I am sadly somewhat aware that this is a reality.”
Not aware (2)
•
•
“I’m not aware of stats. Both violence and prevention.”
“PLEASE DEFINE VIOLENCE: verbal, physical, and sexual.... and by a male or female
needs to be specific in wording of survey i.e. question #14.”
Prevention of alcohol and drugs

“As long as alcohol and drugs are a problem, there will continue to be violence…
against everyone.”

Question 14 : Quelles sont les quatre mesures que vous prendriez probablement
dans une telle situation?
Commentaires
Ask her what she would like to do (6)
•
“Ask HER what sort of action she would like taken, not excluding physical confrontation,
or I guess even the cops in some circumstance (though I’d provide some strong cautions
about the courts and police, and their tendencies toward blaming the victims in cases
of violence against women).”
•
“My actions would primarily be driven by my support for the woman and her wishes
on how to proceed.”
•
“Ask her what she wants to do and how she needs support, reinforce that she does not
deserve to be treated in this way.”
•
“Depending on the situation supporting might include some of the other points
(i.e. contact RCMP) but it would always be there persons informed choice.”
•
“Ask her what she wants and how I could best help her. Also, given that your question
refers to a friend or family member, I would offer her (and kids) shelter with me.”
•
“We don’t always know when we are helping, or if we are helping for that matter.”
Depend on the situation (4)
•
•
“Depends on situation”;
•
•
“Depends on the situation and context.”
“I think this question is too broad because it would definitely depend on the level
of perceived violence and her ability to call the RCMP or not.”
“Actions depend on circumstances: avoid confronting abuser, unless absolutely necessary.”
Family members (2)
•
“I really don’t care about anyone except my immediate family…people have to do
things for themselves too. You can’t help someone unwilling to help themselves.”
•
“Bring his family into the issue.”
Encourage her to contact women’s organizations
•
“Encourage her to contact VFWC women’s advocate.”
Encourage her or not encourage her to contact government services (2)
•
•
“Have Victim Services, Women’s Directorate define which abuses occurred.”
“Victim Services is sometimes abuse in itself. Not enough proper training for many of the staff.”
Encourage her to get legal services (2)
•
•
“Encourage her to pursue an E.I.O. (Emergency Intervention Order).”
“Change the locks; get a restraining order against him. Take her to the airport!”
RAPPORT DE SONDAGE
Contact the First Nation Services
•
“Contact the FN and Community Justice Worker for support and
possible circle with victim, offender and family.”
Encourage counseling (4)
•
“As my young daughter has had this experience in BC – we have quickly learned that
the system agencies do more harm than good. While we would love to confront physically,
we know that would not help. The system protects the offender from RCMP to judges.
From my experience, the action I would take is to get her independent counseling.”
•
•
•
“Encourage her to seek counseling.”
“Suggest counseling.”
“Encourage her to learn how to deal with her specific situation by speaking with
professionals in the field. Encourage her not to keep it a secret.”
Call or not the RCMP (4)
•
“Like I tell my daughter and her friends, never trust the RCMP. They are not there to help you.
I believe their exact words were “It’s not our job to investigate” in relation to an assault.”
•
•
•
•
“I don’t trust the RCMP to have my friend’s best interests at heart.”
“RCMP not the greatest but they are all we have.”
“Would call RCMP depending on circumstances.”
«S’assurer qu’elle a un moyen de communication sûr si elle doit contacter la GRC
même si la ligne téléphonique est coupée. »
Make my presence known
•
“I have stopped assault in progress on a few occasions by making my presence known.”
Develop a safety plan (3)
•
“Develop a safety plan; develop strong networks of support with other
family members and friends.”
•
•
“Work with her to develop a safety plan.”
“Help her develop a safety plan, and provide the resources she needs to enact it if possible.”
Support the victim (7)
•
“I have long been dealing with men abusing my girlfriends and have always jumped in
to stop in, assisted with caring for the children while parents could not. I have had to call
police when I could not verbally control situation, supported her through the ordeal,
only to have her come back to me and ask me not to press charges against him so
he wouldn’t lose his job. I have also let other men know it is not alright to treat to their
women (my friends) like that and always try to uplift these women’s self-esteem.
But their idea of being a strong woman is often being able to take shit and abuse!”
•
•
“Help her to feel empowered enough that she realizes the violence is unacceptable.”
“Stay with her and find out what she should do.”

•
•

“Offer the person a safe place to stay.”

“Offer non-judgmental support/listening and helps with whatever they want.”
“Generally offer support. I wouldn’t “encourage” someone to report or not, or to call
the RCMP/Victim Services or not, but would rather merely offer this as a possibility.”

Importance of education and discussion, especially at an early age (42)
•
•
“Teach them when they are young, in grade school.”
•
“Start talking about it when they are young. Make it a topic every year in school
so it stays with them from a young age.”
•
•
•
“Make it part of the mandatory curriculum.”
•
“It almost has to be addressed when children are being raised. Boys have to be informed
that violence is not acceptable, that it is an inappropriate way to deal with stress, conflict, etc.
Girls have to be taught that any violence against them is unacceptable.”
•
“I think “catching them while they’re young” on violence again women is a good idea, because
if they grew up in that environment where there was violence against women, they may think
it is right in some ways. They may also strongly believe it’s not right. There are many things
that can lead men to believe something is “okay” to happen or not; I just don’t think they see
the extent of violence against women, and all the conditions that do apply. Maybe high
school conferences or assemblies, for men and women, then just men would be a good way
to engage them in conversation and actions on how to stop violence against women.
Posters put around the territory could help too, especially if they are everywhere!.”
•
•
“Start with young boys and be good role models.”
•
“Support targeted health clinics for men and include this as part of health education/promotion
related to healthy relationships and communities; also involve high-school-aged kids in activities/
events related to stopping violence. This could also be part of larger health fairs for youth.”
•
•
“Education, stiffer penalties for violence, support groups.”
•
“Like smoking in public, continued education and action to change the common view
of what is acceptable.”
•
“Open and honest discussion. For example: what would you do/feel if someone treated
you as such?”
“Education, education, education at every opportunity. This must start at home
and then as early as kindergarten, be part of workplace orientation, etc.”
“Treat it like the anti-bullying campaign.”
“Children who come from violence are generally the ones who perpetuate
or enable the behaviour pattern as adults.”
“I would think men who are being violent are unlikely to join a discussion. Start discussions
early, in elementary school. Most would learn from observing what goes on in their family.
Try to stop it early. It’s hard to teach adults new ways.”
“Approach any/all groups for discussion and education to reach a large audience,
i.e. sport teams or other special interest groups.”

“Start in high school. Group discussions. Educate.”
•
“We have to teach women from the time they are children that accepting violence
is unacceptable at any age and any time in life!”
•
“As a high school teacher, I teach my students the importance of self-respect.
We study the media and how and why they portray women and men like they do.”
•
“Talk to them in school (junior/high/college). Address it from the point of view
of their mothers & sisters being the abused.”
•
•
“Education of the young; target children from families where there is spousal abuse.”
•
“It must be both ways – stop violence against men and women. Respect for each other both
verbally and physically. Start at high school and keep going. There is a huge double standard
in the elementary/high schools here. Girls get away with much that boys can’t nor should.”
•
“Stop physical punishment of children... children are good imitators of behaviour they witness.
Children who witness and experience violence will become violent and abusive adults.”
•
“Encourage kindness. Stop “me”-centered cultural bias. Find meaningful engagement
for men (problem of idle young men throughout world). Have kinder male role models.”
•
•
“It has to start when the men are still young – in home & school.”
•
•
•
•
“Education from a young age, and positive role models.”
•
“Discussions about what consent is and what is appropriate sexual behaviour should happen
in high schools (Gr 6-12), especially with the boys. There should be more discussion about
the “grey areas”, not just rape. The conversation should shift away from “no means no”
to encouraging people to ask if things are okay and confirming consent, especially in tricky
situations where people are drunk. For the boys, they need to know that even if a girl doesn’t
explicitly say that she doesn’t want to do something and she is drunk, they could still find
themselves in a situation where they are accused of rape or sexual assault because they didn’t
confirm consent. Emphasis needs to be place on the fact that they need to know about this
sort of thing, because it could cause risk to themselves.”
•
“Booths are great, conventions, possibly phone-ins on the radio. School group chats in
high school or college classes, possibly forum discussion.”
•
“School education.”
“Discussion groups/counselling. Primary prevention and psycho-education with
school-age populations.”
“This is a huge cultural issue. If we focus only on Yukon it still means changing multiple
cultures as we are such a diverse territory. I guess we start with children first, by teaching
them that it is not okay even if it is their brother or father.”
“Bringing respect and recognition of others into a stronger position in all of humanity,
starting at the early formative years of life.”
“Youth groups. Combine it with sports, etc.”
“Start with preschool children.”
“Start at an early age, provide skills in conflict resolution, validate importance
of anger and need to channel into constructive responses, etc.”

“Focus on healthy strengths of men and their role in stopping all forms of violence,
harassment, put-downs, etc. in their language and practice. I wonder sometimes if we
could broaden the focus for men, while not losing a gender-analysis of power dynamics.
How can we focus on strengthening Yukon male youth and young men to become creative
centres of strength? Part of that focus is their own unique strengths and talents, while having
a strong social justice (warrior-like) awareness and practice. From there, bring young men
together to focus social justice education with a strong gender lens. Have them brainstorm
what social justice project they want to work on in their community. For it to be powerful,
dialogue has to happen between young men and women, so young men experience the
power of transformation of their beliefs and attitudes.”

“Start young ... high school debates perhaps. Find a way to have them research the facts
and their relevance to their community, friends and family.”

“Empower all people through educating everybody about the movement
towards non-violence.”

“Engage men by educating them early.”

“Teach parents to love their kids.”
“Start young!”
“Talk to them through another male they admire.”
“Start discussing violence with boys and girls at a young age. Particularly with boys.
Make violence not acceptable. We encourage boys to be violent and deem that it is
natural and normal, i.e., hockey. This is wrong.”
Other methods and themes of engagement (99)
•
“Forums are always good. Workshops. I guess those aren’t the most creative,
but I like those types of things.”
•
•
“Use strong male role models to speak out.”
•
•
“Head on and straight forward. Show real videos of women being abused to trigger a reaction.”
•
“Through the arts, visual arts, audio/music, video/internet. For an example, see:
video clip “3.4 billion women” on YouTube : www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ul8nZFbo4k”
•
“I think bringing it home to them that women are their mothers, grandmothers, sisters,
daughters, nieces, and helping them to explore how they might support and stand up for
the women they love, may help them to increase their empathy for all women. Also it is
important to help them to know that the women in their lives want and need them to speak up
for safety and non-violence; more of what has been happening in terms of public campaigns
with men speaking out. Arts could be a powerful way of enhancing this message too, with all
the music, visual arts, theatre, etc. that we have here we could commission a few artists.
The arts can be a powerful and emotional way to connect with the public.”
•
“Discussion forums stimulated by government or an NGO.”
“Build trust, then talk. Offer support, understand their story, and offer suggestions to get help.
Be direct. Sometimes tough love is all they need to hear! Be a role model. Be black and white.
No means no!”
“Use their mother or sister as an example, as a victim of violence, and how it affected
them growing up in that kind of environment. For a sister, beating up by their partner,
spouse, or boyfriend.”

“I think the best thing to do is to avoid sweeping stereotypes (all men are violent, all women
are victims) and talk about violence in all forms in relationships, as women can and have
victimized men as well. The danger is that women are more often in life threatening situations,
and there are those who will play the “men are victims too” to diminish the severity of the
woman’s situation and as a way of denying that there is a problem. A lot of focus is on
educating younger people about healthy relationships, but it would be nice to also look
at relationships for people in their 20-30s...maybe a campaign of some sort, maybe talking
points that address the “violence deniers”, so people can answer those charges without
talking themselves into a trap.”
•
•
“Conference, media information.”
•
“Read them accounts of rapes, assaults, torture, etc. Introduce them to women who
have survived horrific abuse and are comfortable speaking about it.”
•
•
•
“Talk about how unacceptable it is, and prevalent.”
•
“White Ribbon, mens’ groups, public awareness programs, enrolment in womens’ study
programs, deconstructing male gender discussions.”
•
•
“Open non-threatening discussions.”
•
“Make sure it is a non-confrontational approach and atmosphere. In some cases,
men talking to men about it may be most comfortable.”
•
“Awareness campaigns and listening to/reading of victim stories. Ask them about their
thoughts re. violence i.e. experience, definitions, concerns about daughter and/or close
family and friends.”
•
“I performed in the Vagina Monologues this year which was a great forum to raise
awareness and resulted in my having more discussions on this topic with both men and
women. Theatre and art are good ways to promote discussion in a non-threatening,
non-confrontational manner.”
•
“Some men disengage from these conversations because they feel like they are being
judged or blamed. Talking about “violence in relationships” as opposed to “violence against
women” could help men understand that they are not being persecuted based on their gender.”
•
•
“Through existing men’s groups or organizations, in high schools.”
“Engaging men in a “doing” exercise: organizing an event, building a shelter,
raising money and awareness through a group that is mostly men.”
“Keeping the information flowing on all fronts. Looking for male role models to call men to action.”
“This survey is a good start. Engage role models as first adopters; they will lead the way.
Promote the benefits of leading non-violent lives.”
“Being a man, the first woman I loved and wanted to protect was my mother; now as a
husband and father of 2 daughters I would protect my wife and daughters at any length.
I would suggest campaigns that speak of men looking after and protecting women in their
lives (mother, grandmother, daughters, sister, aunt) personalized so that a man can
resonate with those they care and love.”
“Get men together in a group or at a trade show or conference booth & walk them through
the logic of violence against women. Is it right for a man to use his physical strength to hurt
a woman? Is it right to force a woman to do something she doesn’t want to do, or stop
her from doing something she wants to do? Is it right to ignore situations where you know
that is happening? Do you know what options exist to respond to such situations?”

Show them the results of this violence.”

“Really focus on “my strength is not for hurting” campaign in a variety of media. I heard
a lot from men of all ages who felt strongly that campaign portraying them in a positive and
caring light, which made them more likely to “step up” and act against violence themselves.”

“If you told men you were putting on a course about “How to understand women”, it would be
sold out. It’s when you mention violence that they disengage because “I don’t do that”.”
•
“Men love to feel like heroes. They also get pegged in a bully realm. Start realizing that men’s
actions are a direct result from their culture and upbringing to break the cycle. Isolating an
offender will cause repeat violence. Give men a safe house of their own, where do they get
to go when they’ve had enough offense and violence? How do they get to break the cycle if
they’ve got no place to time out other than a friend’s house or the bar?”
•
“Society does not place responsibility on men, we hide their behaviours. “Victim Services”.
“Violence against Women”. We never say “Men and Their Violence” or “Reduce Violence in Men”
and we never use the word man or men in any violent acts. We always refer to the victim or
the women; society protects men by doing this. Men would not put up with the labelling,
yet they label women.”

“Making feminist men part of the solution through open and inclusive community activities.”
“Connection with men interested in cleaning up their act (for example, A.A.). More needs
to happen for women, however (i.e., there is little at Mental Health to help women clean up
their act).”
“Make a film interviewing men about how to prevent it.”
“Need more male influence on the topic. Men talking to men about it. Prominent,
influential men who hold abusive men accountable. Too many men get away with it
because their male friends and family let abusive behaviour slide.”
“The survey is a bit biased, asking men to wonder why we don’t help out, or asking us if we
are the hitters. There’s a lot of indirect blame here in the wording, and the questioning. What
motivates men to act to protect women is seeing women in pain – we immediately act on this.
While I know you may not want to present this in your posters, it will cause men to act because
seeing the pain causes us to want to eliminate it. Since we don’t ever see it, we don’t know it
exists; quoting a stat to us doesn’t motivate men at all. In fact, when you say “men do this” or
“men do that” or such and such happens “by a man” or that we need to “talk to men” – since
we ARE men, what we hear is “YOU do this” and “YOU do that” and “YOU are to blame for
this and that...” Try a poster where a woman is in pain and ask, “What would you do right
now? Men would act. They are fantastic for being protective, and for bringing any man who
hits a woman to justice – but they have to witness it first, not just see a stat. You can motivate
us by making us SEE what you are talking about. Again, not sure this survey really comes
close to talking to the kind of men who are good – it assumes we are either the pusher, or
the person who looks away.”

“I find that the best way is to talk about it. I remember an older male friend referring to Take
Back the Night March participants as men haters. I told him that it wasn’t about hating men;
the issue was about making the streets safe for women, like his daughter, and for everyone.
He had no response. If I hear a friend say something that is misogynistic or homophobic, I
can’t just be silent. It’s each person’s responsibility to speak up. The peer group is much more
powerful than any publicity campaign. Do onto others as you would have them do unto to you.”
•
“Depends on who he is. I encourage male friends to discuss their attitudes and make this

“Have men’s support groups with open discussion facilitated by someone who knows therapy.”
“Listen to impact statements by women.”
“Open with a joke about women, and then challenge it. Let the men have their laugh, and then

“Have a male who has done violence against women and is now healing facilitate or lead
circles with men who want to change. Having a male role model will enable the offender to
begin to see himself in a change process. Of course this takes time, but it would be effective

Canadian stats and likely Yukon stats indicate that social media utilization is dominated by

sustained consistent year-to-year awareness campaign about social and cultural norms in our
community; engage men in their work place, in their recreational environments, and in public
places. We are almost entirely dependent on traditional media. Is there time for highly creative
messaging sustained over several years? It is important to target/intercept measurement

respect in First Nation culture. Is this something that has been handed down throughout their
history? Was there the same level of violence toward women in their culture in the past 100 or

opinion, does more to sever relationships between men and women than it does to empower
women). Find ways to support women to leave their spouses, it that is what has to happen.
Realize that their mothers or aunties might have stayed because they don’t have the same
choices, and know that that is the situation when they put women down for leaving situations
of abuse. Take care of the kids. Try to encourage men to have fun being dads or uncles with
their kids. Be strong. Be kind. Understand both victim and aggressor. Try to deal with poverty.”

In many cases, the abuser was abused as a child or was a witness of violence themselves.
I believe it is a LEARNED behaviour and often violence comes from within a family. I had the
chance to SPEAK ABOUT THE UNSPEAKABLE in private, without judgement, without risk of
being judged. It helped me heal as a man, as a father and as a future partner. We all need
a place where we can hold the TALKING SIT, to speak and then to listen and learn.”

“I think there should be more focus on perpetrators, rather than always on victims. There are a
lot of programs telling women to leave abusive relationships - that is important, but it runs the
risk of blaming the victim for remaining in the relationship, rather than holding the perpetrator
to account. It also fails to see that victims of abuse often become abusers themselves. It is a
cycle of violence, and men who are abused are more likely to abuse. I do not like that this
survey does not seem to acknowledge this, and only focuses on women and girls... what
about boys who are abused? They are more likely to grow up to abuse others.”

women in Yukon who are well educated, with good jobs, who appear on the outside to have
everything together and who have been knocked around by their partners. Partners/husbands
who are normally wonderful, functioning, supportive, loving men and fathers but who are
occasionally abusive to their wives and partners, mostly because they drank too much. Who
is talking about that? No one I know would ever report anything to the RCMP, the risk of losing
everything is too high. Life is good, until it’s not. So they swallow the bad times, don’t tell
anyone and are thankful that they aren’t one of “those” women who get beat up every night.
When you have a great life and have everything you could want and need and the abuse
happens only 2-3 times a year, you won’t dare throw it away for something that happens
so rarely that you forget about it until it happens again.”
“Don’t let them get away with making stupid jokes, or watching mindless crap.”
“Most “violence against women” discussions I have heard among my male friends occur in
a comedic manner. I consider it important to be able to intervene when this happens, and
do it in an intelligent manner. If the men feel that they are somehow of greater intellect than
the woman, they tend to not listen, so it is important for the woman speaking to do so with
a level of intellect.”

“In many ways it seems easier as a man to engage men in such discussions. The most important
ones, in my opinion, tend not to be with friends (as I have high standards in friends) but with men of
fairly different walks of life than myself. Often I’ve found that being too serious is met with derision
or is ignored, and that ridiculing and mocking the man, type of man, or type of behaviour that
is violent or generally shitty and/or unfair toward women is a little more effective. A little.”

a kind way to inform without being rude.”
“Give men the power to free women from violence from other men. Give them a safe place please.”
“Unfortunately I don’t. The men who are usually willing to talk about it are not the abusers.”
“The best way to stop men from violence as a woman is to have no tolerance for it. Do not
accept it at all and call them on their behaviour, whether it be verbally for minor incidents or
by calling the police and charging them for more major incidents where the law has been
broken, i.e. assault; threats to kill; etc.”

THEME #1: VIOLENCE AND GENDER
•
“Awesome survey. One slight issue I have: the survey starts by saying ”Male violence against
women”, but then just talks about ”violence against women”, though still focusing on
”challenging a man” and ”talking with male friends`. It seems to me that the survey treats
violence against women as exclusively perpetuated by males. I’ve known of violence against
women in a couple women with woman situations and in a less gendered relationship, and
it’s no more acceptable, and it CAN still be a targeted thing, done because she is a woman.
But also, a lot of men seem to get feeling really threatened by things like this, and react poorly
as a result. Making men out to be the sole perpetrators of violence against women is only
going to make that more pronounced. Just my thoughts.”
•
“I am confused by this survey. I am not sure how answers to these questions will help you to
develop a program. Why is only abuse of women and girls focused on? Why are boys in particular left out? Men are more likely statistically to cause more harm to women, but it does not
mean that they are never victims themselves. They are more likely to become abusive if they
have been abused themselves. The survey mentions sexism and homophobia, yet is seems
to be guilty of making assumptions that all relationships will be heterosexual, and that only
women and girls will be victims of abuse (or perhaps only they are worthy of being helped?).”
•
“As a man who does not engage in violence against women, I found this survey to be pretty
offensive, and was tempted to leave the survey before completing it. I imagine others may
have felt the same, and left the survey incomplete. The tone of the questions makes it feel
as if I’m being asked repeatedly in what ways I treat women poorly.”
•
“Maybe provide some statistics at beginning re violence against women. Also survey seems
accusative and not very welcoming for men to choose positive responses to the questions.”
•
“OK, this is all based on the assumption that violence is all about “him” lording it over “her.”
What about the other way around?”

“I was VERY disappointed in the Little Salmon Carmacks First nation’s decision to re-elect
Skookum. This sent a clear message that they do not care to improve the lives of the women
in their community, and the absence of the other chiefs from the rally showed their support for
the continued violence. There should be the same laws and rules for everyone, especially in
regards to violence. The fact that his name was even put forth for re-election is a joke. It is an
insult to all women, and the fact that the federal government did not get involved to stop
this is very upsetting.”
•
“The media often takes the time to focus on sensational, but unusual cases where violence
against women occurs. Cases like the Watson Lake RCMP incident. Unfortunately there are so
many more cases that get no attention but which affect more women. The number of women
who will not cooperate with a prosecution, who are not supported through the process, whose
own family encourages them to recant their statements. These are the cases that should
get media attention so that attitudes can change and people become more aware or the
prevalence of this type of behaviour and the public can play a role in demonstrating how
inappropriate violence against women is.”
•
“What about the violence against men? Why do women get such exclusive coverage in the
media? Isn’t this a sexist view being perpetuated by those who should be opposing such
narrow views? I think it is! Let’s focus on stopping VIOLENCE. Period!”
•
“Often times “violence” can be vague (including in this survey). By being more specific it
is easier to identify a person’s actions either someone else’s, or their own.”
•
“Women are not all made of sugar and spice, some (as the men) are just plain evil
and unreachable.”
•
“I’m confused – I understand that a high proportion of violence against women was by men then
knew/partners/family members etc. I’m unsure how some of the above would reduce this risk.”
•
“I think people over react to things such as “sexist jokes” – women are just as bad as men
when it comes to that. You can tell the difference when someone is joking and someone is
being degrading or condescending toward women. There are men who are abusers and
they will not engage in “talking about it”, nor will they change. It is who they are.”
•
“Everyone knows violence against women is wrong. Any violence is wrong. Take back the night
is always in the news. Ignorance is no excuse. But still, women stay. They know, but they still
stay. Maybe you have to fix women before you can fix men.”
•
“Violence happens to everyone, not just women and girls. Domestic violence should be stopped
regardless of gender.”
•
•
“You ladies can hit too.”
•
“There need to be services for domestic violence, period – there are men in Yukon who are also
victims, and have even less access to services. Domestic violence should be discussed more
often in gender-neutral ways, not just as “violence against women”.”
“I think we have a long way to go in changing how men and women are socialized –
objectification and over-sexualizing of women has been at the foundation of our lives since
birth – biology is one of the principal drivers of our nature. We are fundamentally a very
sophisticated mammal.”

“I think it is important that in all our communications we are highlighting the ability of men
and women to stop cycles of abuse through counselling and support of their partners. Many
women have experienced sexual or physical abuse at the hands of their partners and are
unable to live beyond the scars of those incidences. This can lead to unhealthy relationship
patterns. As much as help is important to women who have seen abuse, help should also
be available to the current partners of these women to help them understand the ongoing
psychological symptoms and how to best support their partners.”
•
“Need to support men, especially young men, in recognizing when they are being ‘abused’
as well. I have seen a # of situations where the ”abuse modelling” I being done by young
women. It does not bode well for the future.”
•
“Why is it called male violence against women? Women are also abusive to one another.
Men are always villianized, and when we are portrayed like this, we are less likely to
participate in something that paints us as abusers because of our gender.”
•
“You and your survey have the perception that there is only domestic violence towards
women by men.”
•
“Unless you are aware of all types of domestic violence then you are setting your survey
to fail and doing this issues a huge disservice.”

“In question number 14 (“confront ‘him’ directly”) you are assuming that all violence against
women and girls comes from men. In my mind I was thinking of abuse that I had seen come
from mother towards daughter? Please consider that violence against women is not always
male vs. female.”
•
“One thing that I do not enjoy about the campaigns (or general feel of some of the women’s
associations here) is that I find them confrontational and aggressive. I am a person who
subscribes to love, and women who take a strong stand and take up “the fight” against
violence against women, are simply perpetuating fear and anger – not love. We, as a society,
need to love in order for the violence to end. We need to love those (men and women) who
are hurting so much that they hurt others. We need to love those (men and women) who
have been hurt, and do not have the tools to deal with their own pain. We need to create
a community where EVERYONE feels safe, loved and celebrated.”
“The old us & them battle... is growing big time!”
“Women kill too, and more often these days.”
“The social engineering attempts created by studies as this is so painfully obvious.”
“As a little FYI... regardless of whom it is... anyone that approaches me with evil intent using
violence as their tools? Gender free grave danger is what HE/SHE will experience.”
“I hope the Women’s Directorate involves First Nations, governments, NGOs and others
working in the field to stop the violence. These are our men who in most cases have learned
this behaviour from witnessing family violence as children. It is often a learned behaviour.
We need to find a way, “strength based” because punishment has not worked to date.”

“Violence against anyone is never okay. But people (both men and women) need to
understand that certain actions (heavy drinking, drug use) cause people (both men and
women) to make lousy decisions and make them more vulnerable.”
•
“There are many forms of violence toward women, and the ones you describe are some,
but intimidation, physical violence, emotional abuse, retaliation, withdrawal of finances,
withdrawal of transportation and on and on.”
•
“I believe also that there is a problem with drugs and alcohol, especially in northern communities.
This, although not an only cause for violence, is certainly a contributing factor. This should be
something to be discussed as well as violence issues.”
•
“There’s no easy answer to question of how to stop violence against women. The issue is very
complex and the reasons why people resort to violence as a solution are varied. Removing
alcohol and drug abuse from the equation is a start, at least in the Yukon.”
THEME #2: TESTIMONIALS
•
“I don’t see any violence. I have one friend who went through some a while back, but I found
out afterwards. That’s the one instance I can really think of, and she wasn’t even that close.
I would feel compelled to do more if I experienced it as a problem in my life. I just don’t see
it very much, if at all. I see much more violence in media. I hate slasher movies and that type
of visual violence. The portrayal of women is very violent and unjust. I would say that’s much
more in the open than any other abuse that may go on behind closed doors.”
•
“Even though I did abuse my husband at one time, that doesn’t happen anymore; it does
in the community where I live. Especially the verbal abuse.”
•
“Sibling lateral violence is alive and well in the Yukon. I am moving away (to further my
education) from the Yukon to get away from my older brother and sister who are both not
well, who live in denial.”
•
“I opened and worked in a shelter for 10 years in a small community and the shelter closed
after I left. During those years, I did a lot of awareness raising and had men’s and women’s
workshop, looked at abusers in the eyes and gave them white ribbons and in the end and
I am sorry to say I don’t think it made any difference.”
•
“We have had a very negative experience that over a year later continues to haunt our
daughter with these complaints showing up in criminal background check for prospective
employers who require her to divulge this information. I have worked in the system for
25 years and have learned this past year that you are better off avoiding RCMP at all costs
and that once you are in the system, it never lets you go, even when you’re a victim.”
•
“I was with an abusive girl (language) and I end up being abusive (physical) one night by
pushing her away from me. I end up in court and was not really impressed by the court system
because I was automatically charged, even if my girlfriend didn’t want to press charges. They
should have been some kind of in-between where we would have gone in reconciliation and
I could have learned to control my anger. I went to seek help anyway but again I’m really not
impressed how woman have such a strong power over men through court. I also feel that the
women’s center and the surroundings have motivated her to hate me and to stay away from
me. I have had many women in my life and it’s the first time something like that happened.
I recognize I was violent that night, but I’m still not impressed by the repercussions. I feel that
it’s a card woman have in their hand if they want to cause troubles and it could be dangerous
when in the hand of dangerous woman. Some women like revenge and hurting.”

“I have a four year old daughter who is already being told that “boys are rough sometimes” or
“he just likes you” when the little boys at daycare push her or pull her hair. How does anyone
expect violence against women to stop when we condition our young girls to put up with this
nonsense? When I was young, it was ok for the boys at school to lift your skirt, paw at you and
physically intimidate you - it was labelled positive attention and teachers had a ‘boys will be
boys’ attitude. Violence prevention MUST start in the cradle and both sexes must be educated
to stop perpetrating violence and to stop condoning or accepting it.”
•
“I worked at a women’s shelter in Vancouver many years ago. The Owl House Society was
geared towards First Nations Women & their children (but not exclusive to them). It was a
very emotionally draining, yet educational & rewarding experience at the same time. I have
witnessed my mother suffer at the hands of my father as a child & I’ve been a victim at the
hands of a former “trusted” non-blood-related male who married into the family (silent at 1st
as a child & have feared all of the above in the past (but no more!). I would hope to see more
positive impact in our society. Thank you for being here and doing the good work that you do.
For the record, I’m 45 years old now, educated & in a healthy marriage. Although it’s been
30+ years for me, I will never ever forget my suffering, it sneaks up on my memory & psyche
at the most inopportune times & still affects me emotionally. The healing takes forever.”
•
“My willingness to get involved is really a function of how close I am to the victim and how
directly aware I am of their situation. While I’m aware violence against women is likely
common in Yukon, I don’t know anyone directly who is a victim.”
•
“I believe that if we tackle alcoholism; we tackle a large part of the violence against all
(women, children, other men, animals, society, and structures). I have made the choice to not
drink alcohol as of 5 years ago (upon becoming pregnant and have continued ever since).
I feel ridiculed and that I have to make excuses for myself on a regular basis. I feel this is
VERY telling as to the role of alcoholism and it’s acceptance in our society. We must take the
same approach with alcohol as we have done with smoking – make it socially unwelcome!
Please for the sake of us all.”
•
“Having been beaten by an ex-partner, I have fear to directly challenge an abuser.
Do you have ways to do this that are safe?”
•
“I have challenged a man from beating my close relative and after all his treatment, counselling
and blah blah court ordered programming even a stint in jail for a few weeks, he still lays the
blame on me for the problems he has caused, not on the fact he would beat her black & blue
literally even in front of their children. The fact he had to take time from his job which was not
even a long-time one or that they were trying to “work” things out and I little old me messed it
all up, and his good name and reputation! So I don’t know about all that anger management
classes and treatment after the fact, I think you have to instill it in them early and through the
media. Portray women dignified and worthy of love, tenderness and a good man.”
•
“Raising a son is the best awareness of women’s violence possible. Raising my son to be a
man is the best thing I can do as a single mother to help challenge violence against women,
to help challenge stereotypes of men, to challenge the “violator/victim” roles we portray on
our youth through TV, media and this very public service you are providing here today. Please
learn to think outside the box. So long as you are against, there will be people against you.
If you want to help men to find other means than violence please give them the tools to do so.
If you don’t they won’t talk. If they’re the perpetrator and always wrong, they’ll shut down.
If they can’t ask for help we need to see their actions as a cry. This survey makes me quite
angry; I can see that we are many years away from change. I may get involved just to
challenge your beliefs of violence, women and men.”

“Being a nonviolent person, I am of the opinion that all violence should be dealt with gender
not being an issue. In dealing with adults all people who commit acts of violence should be
identified an made public.”
•
“Definitive answers to most of these questions are difficult. My experience with violent situations
is that the perpetrator is often illogical and, or irrational, making any intervention dangerous
and open to repercussion. I think lack of self-esteem is the major factor in all harassment,
regardless of gender, and educational programs which mitigate this and teach acceptance of
self and others could be most helpful.”
•
“I am against violence in all forms (against my kids, my wife, against men, against others, etc.).
I oppose violence against women, just as I oppose violence with military action, war, etc.”
•
“The problem of violence against women is largely invisible in my social circle. The issue
of whether to intervene in situations where people are cruel to each other verbally is more
complicated because in my experience it is not a gender issue. I have seen cruelty in both
directions, sometimes in the same couple relationship.”
•
“I wouldn’t personally challenge a violent abuser. That takes skill. I would challenge a woman
to get help.”
•
“As a child I experienced “fear” as a result of the alcoholic and abusive father. It was not a
criminal offense to beat your wife at the time. We hid in other people’s houses until it was safe
to go home. I understand now that some of the things my mother did were “enabling” and
I was disappointed because the one person I thought would protect me (my mother) didn’t.
You are scarred for life by these traumatic events experienced as a child however, it does not
give you the right to behave the same way and treat other people disrespectfully. We must rise
above these beginnings!.”

“Kaushee Harris (Emma Williams) was a very good friend of my mothers. It is shameful that
in today’s society we even have to have shelters for women and children to escape to.

“Why do you think awareness is solution? That means that lack of awareness is cause.
I don’t believe that. It is deeper and more complex. Most abusive people grew up in abusive
homes. They grew up in chaos without kindness. At core they feel impotent to deal with life’s
circumstance. This is more complex than posters. Posters and programs make politicians
comfortable that they APPEAR to be doing something. Improving relationships and our
communities (encouraging social capital, trust, connections) is bigger and more important
than one department looking after “women’s interests”. I live in a community where women
are mean and abusive as well. PEOPLE are not kind to each other. Lateral violence is wicked
and destructive. Fix that with your money and your surveys! Get government to provide
the same level of services in rural Yukon. Good luck!”

It has helped educate me in broadening my thinking.”
“Keep up the good work!”
“Great initiative!”
“Think about using Fluidsurvey instead of survey monkey next time. Fluidsurvey is Canadian,
therefore your info is not kept on USA servers.“
“I think sports and the arts are excellent ways for girls/young women (and boys/men)
to gain self-esteem and be more confident – I know we must not “blame” those who are
abused but I would like to see more opportunities for kids of all Yukon regions and income
levels have greater access to programs which I think would give them more strength in such
situations. Look at how some NGOs in developing countries combine health/sports and
HIV/AIDS prevention.”
“The language of your survey needs to be made more accessible if you are trying to reach
the segment of population that is at higher risk of violence. Speak plainly. Words like “social
repercussion” are a difficult concept to grasp. Translate into “Being picked on or pushed out
by your community and friends”. Explain what an “equality seeking organization” is.”
“Thank you for putting this on ArtsNet and making me aware of the survey.”
“I am pleased to see this survey happening and encourage more public awareness
and education efforts throughout the political and education systems.”

Les Nations Unies définissent ainsi la violence contre les femmes :
« Tous actes de violence dirigés contre le sexe féminin, et causant ou pouvant causer
aux femmes un préjudice ou des souffrances physiques, sexuelles ou psychologiques,
y compris la menace de tels actes, la contrainte ou la privation arbitraire de liberté,
que ce soit dans la vie publique ou dans la vie privée. »
