I recently wrote an article about the Canadian Forces distributing 120,000 wallet-size cards to military personnel to remind them that sexual assault is an “inappropriate” behaviour.

The cards are to be carried by military staff on the job, including when they are sent overseas, according to the Canadian Forces. (although I have had emails from military personnel saying there is no stipulation they must carry the cards).

The cards list inappropriate behavior which includes sexual assault, sexual interference, sexual exploitation, offensive sexual remarks or unacceptable language or jokes, unwelcome requests of a sexual nature or verbal abuse of a sexual nature, voyeurism, indecent acts and publishing intimate images of a person without their consent.

The cards call on military personnel to “do no harm.” They also have contact information for a sexual misconduct line, military police and other related services.
