Did you know? Asexuality is more common than you might think.

ℹ️ Prevalence: 0.4% to 4%
ℹ️ Definition: little or no sexual attraction to others
ℹ️ Umbrella term
ℹ️ April 6 was International Asexuality Day

Yet many asexual people face barriers to affirming health care due to misunderstandings and pathologization. Improving care starts with recognizing asexuality as an identity, not a disorder.

Gay and bisexual men experience intimate partner violence (IPV) at rates comparable to heterosexual women and significantly higher than heterosexual men. Yet formal services tailored to gay and bisexual men who experience IPV remain limited. Many victims turn to informal coping strategies or are turned away from mainstream shelters designed primarily for heterosexual women.

According to Statistics Canada's 2018 Survey of Safety in Public and Private Spaces, more than half (54 per cent) of sexual minority men reported some form of IPV since age 15, compared with 36 per cent of heterosexual men.
