More than 150 sexual assault survivors are sending $7 million worth of invoices to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne. "Often we talk in terms of trauma, emotional harm, but we don't think about the actual logistics of, 'Can I actually afford to be sexually assaulted right now,'" said Mandi Gray, a York University PhD student who was sexually assaulted in January 2015. Gray put out an online survey asking survivors to attach dollar amounts to costs they have shouldered. Gray and her co-organizers created a survey to send out to people who have experienced sexual assault. Ururyar was ordered to pay $8,000 in restitution to Gray to cover a portion of the money she spent on her own lawyer.
