The Centre for Research & Education on Violence Against Women & Children at Western University, in collaboration with researchers at the University of Toronto and the Canadian Labour Congress, released the Ableism in Canadian Workplaces Report. The national mixed methods study commenced with a survey on workplace harassment and violence which circulated in 2020 and 2021. Thousands of Canadian workers participated in the survey, and a significant number volunteered to participate in research interviews. This extensive data collection resulted in an in-depth report being developed based on the research study. The report sheds light on the prevalence of workplace violence and harassment in Canada and analyzes how workers who are marginalized due to their social location and/or their precarious employment status are uniquely impacted.
