September 12, 2023: We’re Going National! 

Good News to share! Our SSHRC Partnership Grant Application (The trans-LINK Canada Network: Partnering to Create and Exchange Knowledge on Supporting Transgender and Gender Diverse Survivors of Sexual Assault and Intimate Partner Violence) is successful. Many of our partners in the Ontario trans-LINK Network participated in this application and we thank them for their support.  

 You can find the official award announcement here (https://www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/results- resultats/recipients-recipiendaires/2022/pg-sp-eng.aspx). 


July 30, 2021: Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) resources added!

Based on feedback from trans-LINK Network members, we have expanded the WebPortal to include resources on better understanding, addressing, and preventing IPV against trans persons. We hope that these new resources, alongside those focused on sexual assault, will be helpful in enhancing the provision of care and supports to trans persons who have experienced gender-based violence.
