The Conseil jeunesse de Montréal (CJM) has released a report highlighting significant safety concerns among youth in Montreal, particularly young women. The study, which surveyed 509 youth, revealed that many experience street harassment, including catcalling and groping, leading to feelings of insecurity while using public transit or walking in the city. While 63% of participants felt safe in their neighborhoods, perceptions of safety varied widely by borough, with youth in Outremont feeling the safest and those in Montréal-Nord reporting higher insecurity levels. Respondents also expressed concerns about homelessness and public transit conditions, with many advocating for a preventive approach to safety that includes non-police interventions and better urban planning. CJM president Gaëlle Guillaume stressed the importance of creating a sense of belonging and safety for youth, while Sareena Kumari, a youth center coordinator, called for stronger laws against street harassment and increased public awareness. The report underscores the need for a coordinated effort across municipal departments to address these systemic issues.
