« In response to rising apprehensions among some women about aggressive sexual advances sometimes leading to assault and rape, the City of Laval has decided to throw its support behind a growing network of ‘safe’ bars where staff are trained to intervene and help clients when they feel threatened or are in uncomfortable situations. »

« ‘It's really a beautiful program, it's a great cause,’ said Brunet-Stringer. ‘It'll be a better environment for the customers to come in and that's the goal’ »

« ‘In Quebec, one in three women and one in six men will be the victim of at least one sexual assault in their lifetime’ said Andréanne St-Gelais, director of the Collectif social. ‘Bars and places for social or festive activities are more conducive to get out of hand. The Command un Angelot protocol is one way to increase customer safety. We salute participating institutions who recognize this reality and want to be part of the solution’. »

« Un nouveau réseau de bars sécuritaires voit le jour sur le territoire de Laval. Au total, 15 établissements seront accrédités au cours de la prochaine année dans le but de prévenir et contrer les violences à caractère sexuel. »
