PEERS Alliance Inc.

Published purpose

Through this 30-month project, PEERS Alliance Inc. will address the needs and barriers to equality for 2SLGBTQI+ communities in PE. This will be achieved by engaging directly with the intersectionality of the 2SLGBTQ+ community through community engagement, accompaniment for system navigation, advocacy for policy change, and education to promote equality and address biases among service providers and employers. Additionally, the project will build leadership capacity for trans women in the community sector. With the help of community partners, PEERS Alliance Inc. will build intercommunity collaboration by extending its reach to rural and Black, Indigenous, and other QPOC communities, and facilitate strategic interventions with faith and cultural groups to address hate against the 2SLGBTQI+ community.
