Impact of COVID-19 on the LGBTQI2S Community – Second National Report

Egale Canada, ACCEC, and INNOVATIVE have partnered to release a Second National Report on the Impacts of COVID-19 on LGBTQI2S People in Canada. The report is a follow up to an initial national study released in April that uncovered alarmingly disproportionate impacts of COVID-19 for LGBTQI2S people in areas including household finances, job loss, mental and physical health, and overall quality of life.

ICYMI: Pronoun Resource for Teachers & Staff

Pronouns and names are not the only parts of language marked by gender. Our everyday language is often gendered. By shifting this language to be more inclusive, we can respect and acknowledge the gender identities of all people. Always be mindful of your assumptions and consider gender-neutral ways of communicating the same phrases.

Research Study on Access to Justice for LGBTQI2S People

Egale is seeking participants to interview in an effort to create a clearer picture of what LGBTQI2S people's experiences with serious legal issues look like across Canada.

Egale works to improve the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, intersex and two-spirit (LGBTQI2S) people in Canada and to enhance the global response to LGBTQI2S issues. Egale will achieve this by informing public policy, inspiring cultural change, and promoting human rights and inclusion through research, education, and community engagement. Join us by supporting our work to improve the lives of all LGBTQI2S people.
