Take Action
It’s no secret that 2SLGBTQI communities, our rights, and our freedoms are under attack. There has been an exponential rise in anti-2SLGBTQI and hate-fueled movements across Canada. We see it in the anti-trans policies and policy proposals emerging provincially and federally, and in the rising rates of hate crimes, hate speech, and hate in the form of coordinated anti-trans protests in cities across Canada.
Policy briefs
Although advances have been made to protect the rights and well-being of 2SLGBTQI people in Canada, there is work yet to be done. The following policy briefs summarize opportunities to better support 2SLGBTQI people in Canada through policy and practice, across four key policy areas.
Policy Brief: Advancing Reproductive Justice in Canada
