Women and Gender Equality Canada’s 2SLGBTQI+ Secretariat is please to provide you with the first 2SLGBTQI+ Action Plan Progress Report
Women and Gender Equality Canada’s 2SLGBTQI+ Secretariat is please to provide you with the first 2SLGBTQI+ Action Plan Progress Report (attached), highlighting the Government of Canada’s progress to implement the Action Plan over its first 18 months.
This Report provides an overview of the Government of Canada’s work from August 28, 2022 to March 31, 2024 to advance 2SLGBTQI+ equality in Canada and around the world through the Action Plan’s six priority areas (note that the Government of Canada’s fiscal year ends on March 31 of a calendar year).
Our work continues. Since April 1, 2024, the Government of Canada has made additional efforts to implement the Action Plan, such as:
Signing and announcing of agreements from the 2SLGBTQI+ Community Capacity Fund and 2SLGBTQI+ Projects Fund Calls for Proposals, supporting organizations across Canada working to make change;
Launching the Anti-2SLGBTQI+ Stigma Awareness Campaign –Unity - Canada.ca, demonstrating the power of strong allyship; and,
Launching an intersectional community-based research call for proposals to gather on the ground knowledge and evidence that helps shape policy and programming.
While the work of the Action Plan continues, I am heartened to see all the effort being done across Canada to create more opportunities and protections for 2SLGBTQI+ communities.
