Subject field(s)
  • Offences and crimes
  • Family Law (common law)
  • Social Problems
CONT

Sexual abuse does not need to include physical contact between a perpetrator and a victim. Some forms of child sexual abuse include : exhibitionism, or exposing oneself to a minor; masturbation in the presence of a minor or forcing the minor to masturbate; engaging the child in looking at, watching or being a part of sexualized pictures; obscene phone calls, text messages, or digital interactions; engaging the child in the taking of sexual images of the child; any other sexual conduct that is harmful to a child's mental, emotional, or physical welfare.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Infractions et crimes
  • Droit de la famille (common law)
  • Problèmes sociaux
CONT

Selon les spécialistes, le problème de la maltraitance sexuelle à l'égard des enfants est un problème universel. En fait, il apparaît dans toutes les sociétés, et touche tous les milieux familiaux. Lorsqu'une famille est le lieu d'une agression sexuelle, c'est parce qu'il y a certains facteurs et certaines conditions qui favorisent le passage à l'acte (qui peuvent poursuivre longtemps l'agressé(e), y compris dans l'âge adulte).

OBS

abus pédosexuel : Bien qu'«abus pédosexuel» soit un terme critiqué, «abus» voulant dire «excès», son usage est tout de même fréquent, car il est influencé par le Code criminel, qui emploie «matériel d'abus et d'exploitation pédosexuels».

OBS

demanderesse d'asile : En contexte judiciaire canadien, le terme féminin «demanderesse d'asile» est fréquemment employé, surtout à la Cour fédérale.

[It is composed of] a large team of residential care workers, child care workers, family service workers, community-based prevention workers, intake workers, and administrative staff.

OBS

Tikinagan is mandated by the chiefs of Nishnawbe-Aski Nation to provide services in a manner that is sensitive to the unique needs of the Native child and family, Native culture and traditions, and the concept of the extended family. Families often require help at many levels to address issues of mental health, family violence, marital support and addictions, and communities often do not have the necessary resources to meet all of the family's needs. In establishing Tikinagan as a Native child welfare agency, the chiefs were committed to providing services to children and families in whatever manner necessary to prevent them from becoming at risk. Tikinagan was formed, not only to provide child protection services, but also to provide family support and intervention services, to assist and seek out resources for families to overcome their difficulties and to broaden the social services network for the benefit of our children and families.

OBS

As a Children’s Aid Society, Tikinagan has been mandated since April 1987 under the Child and Family Services Act to provide services that will ensure children are protected from physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, neglect, and other forms of maltreatment.
