The Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton is reflecting on a busy year where the topic of sexual assault was on everyone's minds.

Jorgina Sunn believes the global awareness of sexual assault in 2017 is encouraging, but it's not enough to be celebrated yet.

Insights West’s survey found unwanted physical touching, cat calls, being referred to using derogatory or demeaning sexual terms and being pressured for dates were some of the common complaints from women.

“#MeToo puts into light how many people have been affected,” Thorkelson said.

"Through these actions I have hurt women, both in my personal life and in the broader community."
