It Gets Better Canada (IGB-CSA Canada)

Published purpose

Through this 28-month project, It Gets Better Canada will work to address the unique challenges of 2SLGBTQI+ youth in Canada, focusing on enhancing mental health, combatting online hate, and improving digital literacy. It will work with a technology company and youth advisors to stop the spread of hate online and misinformation against 2SLGBTQI+ people. The project will identify sources of online hate and work with youth to amplify the resources to bring about change. With the support of experts and youth-led talent, it will develop an online educational platform in support of combatting online hate and digital literacy. It will connect and engage with communities across the country through school workshops and Pride activities to test the resources and online access. This project will be developed with an intersectional approach incorporating Gender-Based Analysis Plus (GBA Plus). GBA Plus approach will be used to enhance the responsiveness and inclusivity of the project at all stages of development, implementation, monitoring and evaluation.
