2SLGBTQ+ people are disproportionately impacted by gender-based violence (GBV), experience distinct forms of GBV, and often face additional barriers when reaching out for support related to GBV. Transphobia, homophobia, and biphobia are structural forms of GBV that 2SLGBTQ+ communities navigate every day in their public and private lives. 2SLGBTQ+ communities face family violence, street harassment, sexual violence, intimate partner violence, and lateral violence and experience GBV in ways that cisgender and heterosexual people do not.
Working with the Canadian Women’s Foundation, we prepared a report and toolkit to help service providers better understand the needs and challenges 2SLGBTQ+ communities face when it comes to gender-based violence.
In the spirit of reconciliation, Wisdom2Action acknowledges the land on which it was originally established as the traditional and unceded territory of the M’ikmaq, known as Mi’kmak’i (Nova Scotia). Our team is spread across Turtle Island (Canada) on the treaty lands of many First Nations. We recognize the people and the land in this way as part of our commitment to anti-oppression and decolonization. We are all treaty people.
