1 These books are not cleared by regulators. Currently, the publishing industry in Canada is self-regulated, meaning there is no ‘Rated R’ category, for example, for books deemed inappropriate for children.

2 The World Health Organization (WHO, 1999, p. 15) defines child sexual abuse as “the involvement of a child in a sexual activity that he or she does not fully comprehend, is unable to give informed consent to, or for which the child is not developmentally prepared and cannot give consent, or that violates the laws or social taboos of society.”

8 For example: Benchmarks for Effective Comprehensive Sexual Health Education. SIECCAN. Please not the citation bias. Only three resources are cited, two which the organization themselves (SIECCAN) created, and one created by UNESCO. The document openly notes that the survey does not accurately represent Canadians, as, “Autistic youth, youth with disabilities, and youth with 2SLGBTQINA+ identities were oversampled to best ensure adequate sample sizes for reporting and comparisons across groups…”
