Pride and Protest: Strategies to Protect and Advance 2SLGBTQIA+ Rights in Ontario

The Ontario Human Rights Code protects queer and trans communities from discrimination. But our communities continue to experience hate speech, violence, and exclusion, as well as lower levels of income and wellbeing. What can you do to protect the human rights of your 2SLGBTQIA+ clients and provide supportive and inclusive services?

This webinar will provide community workers with information about the legal framework of rights relating to 2SLGBTQIA+ communities and highlight legal issues affecting queer and trans communities in Ontario. We will share best practices for inclusivity, useful case studies, and resources to guide you to community and legal support.
