This study provides a descriptive overview of sexual violence (SV) experienced by female student-athletes ( n = 56) from three Quebec universities, examining the frequencies, forms, and contexts of these incidents. Findings show that over one-third of participants (43%, n = 24) reported at least one SV incident perpetrated by someone linked to their university sports team. Most incidents were perpetrated by men, primarily fellow student-athletes, and occurred most frequently during social activities. These findings highlight that SV remains a current issue despite existing prevention efforts and provide information that could support the development of more effective prevention strategies and educational initiatives in university sports.
