FrancoQueer

Published purpose

Through this 28-month project, FrancoQueer will address the needs and barriers to equality for 2SLGBTQI+ communities. This will be achieved by (1) undertaking a community-based research on the root causes of hate towards 2SLGBTQIA+ people, the methods used to spread it, and the needs of service providers in targeted sectors (health, education, media) to address it; (2) developing the skills of service providers offering services in French in Ontario to ensure the delivery of inclusive services to francophone 2SLGBTQIA+ folks; (3) demystifying misinformation and prejudice among the general public and strengthening the capacity of francophone 2SLGBTQIA+ people in Ontario to assert their rights; and (4) conducting a project evaluation.
