Alliance for South Asian AIDS Prevention

Published purpose

Through this 15-month project, Alliance for South Asian AIDS Prevention (ASAAP) will develop community-informed initiatives to overcome key issues facing 2SLGBTQ+ communities, with a focus on racialized trans/non-binary/gender non-conforming individuals and, in particular, those who are newcomers, in the Greater Toronto Area. This will be achieved through 1) a community needs assessment; 2) capacity-building skills workshops, peer ambassador trainings and mentorships; 3) one-on-one education and support; 4) community support group; and 5) post-program focus group. By the end of the project, ASAAP will have supported a community-informed project to address key issues facing 2SLGBTQ+ communities and advance equality for 2SLGBTQ+ people, with a focus on racialized trans/non-binary/gender non-conforming individuals.
