The project will address issues surrounding attitudes and behaviours on sexual consent, conformity to gender stereotypes, and sexual victimization of young Quebecers.

These activities will be carried out through sharing the total project costs, with 50% of the funding provided by Women and Gender Equality Canada and 50% provided by the Université du Québec à Montréal.

Through this 40-month project, the Toronto People With AIDS Foundation, in collaboration with partners, will build their capacity by creating a community HIV/STBBI Hub to advance the health and social equality of Black, Indigenous, racialized and other marginalized 2SLGBTQI+ community members living with or at risk of HIV∕AIDS and other STBBIs in Toronto. This project will address the intersectionalities of race, sexual orientation, immigration status, gender and other lived identities that make these communities more vulnerable to racism, stigma and discrimination; STBBI acquisition; poorer physical and mental health outcomes; homelessness and poverty, among others. The project’s primary objective is the development of a Hub Operational Model. This will include: coordination of a Community Advisory Committee, development of Hub Operating Agreements, research into mechanisms for sustainable funding via social enterprise, and the development and coordination of a community-driven evaluation plan. The project's success will be evaluated through feedback from the Community Advisory Committee and Hub partners, and regular reviews of organizational capacity and strategic goals.
