Description (French)
Grâce à ce projet d’une durée de 30 mois, PEERS Alliance cernera les besoins et les obstacles à l’égalité pour les communautés 2ELGBTQI+ à l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard. Cela sera fait en mobilisant directement l’intersectionnalité des communautés 2ELGBTQI+ par l’entremise d’un engagement communautaire, d’une personne accompagnatrice pour aider à naviguer le système, de revendication pour le changement des politiques, et d’éducation visant à promouvoir l’égalité et à contrer les préjugés parmi les prestataires de soins et les employeuses et les employeurs. De plus, le projet renforcera la capacité de leadership des femmes transgenres dans le domaine communautaire. Avec l’aide des partenaires communautaires, PEERS Alliance élaborera une collaboration intercommunautaire en élargissant sa portée aux communautés rurales, noires, autochtones et aux autres communautés de personnes queers racisées, et organisera des interventions stratégiques avec des groupes religieux et culturels afin d’éliminer la haine envers la communauté 2ELGBTQI+.
