Advocacy Campaign

 #TRANSformative Knowledge

Promoting awareness to counter damaging attitudes, beliefs, and reactions related to sexual assault against trans people.

This advocacy campaign is a collaboration among Women’s College Research Institute, Women’s College Hospital, Trans Wellness Ontario, and the Ontario Network of Sexual Assault/Domestic Violence Treatment Centres.  

The advocacy posters, organized by theme below, arise out of a focus group of trans peer leaders and allied health and social service providers, who helped develop and approved all campaign messaging.
