FEDERAL – As part of its continuing campaign against sexual misconduct in the military, the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) has released a new mobile app, Respect in the CAF, which provides resources and support for victims of sexual assault and harassment. A July 19 news release from the Department of National Defence (DND) announced that the app includes downloadable checklists, procedures and tools for victims and for those who can support them. It can direct a user to the nearest hospital, police station, rape crisis centre or military support unit, and it is available for free from online app stores, the DND stated. “While the Respect in the CAF app was written and designed for members of the Canadian Armed Forces, the app has valuable information that anyone can use to deal more confidently and knowledgeably with… sexual misconduct,” said Rear Admiral Jennifer Bennett, the director general of the CAF’s strategic-response team on sexual misconduct, in a press statement. “This app provides an easily accessible platform on which we will build and add resources to increase awareness and continue to improve support, response and prevention of harmful and inappropriate sexual behavior.”
