Description:
Through this 31-month project, TransEstrie will conduct research that will help improve healthcare and health services for at-risk groups in the area of gender-based violence. The project will help shed light on access to gender-affirming care in Quebec and on medical violence experienced by trans and non-binary people during the medical transition process. To achieve this goal, the predominantly qualitative research will include a documentary analysis on the content of transition support forums, as well as interviews with healthcare professionals and people who have received or are waiting to receive gender-affirming care. TransEstrie will release its results and analyses through a webinar and by publishing “open-access” articles to inform others about the research findings.

Program Purpose:
The purpose of the GBV Program is to strengthen the GBV sector to address gaps in supports for two groups of survivors: 1) Indigenous women and their communities, and 2) underserved populations (including women living with a disability, non-status/refugee /immigrant women, LGBTQ2S, gender non-conforming people and ethno-cultural women) in Canada. The Program provides grant and contribution funding to Canadian organizations to improve supports to help create long-term, comprehensive solutions at the national, regional, and local levels.
