2slgbtq+ Poverty in Canada: Improving Livelihood and Social Wellbeing

2slgbtq+ Poverty in Canada: Improving Livelihood and Social Wellbeing Research project studies poverty in Canadian 2SLGBTQ+ communities. Poverty is a serious issue that affects the Canadian population.

The country's Two-Spirit, Le***an, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Q***r (2SLGBTQ+) population is vulnerable to its effects. The 2SLGBTQ+ Poverty in Canada: Improving Livelihood and Social Wellbeing project studies poverty in Canadian 2SLGBTQ+ communities. It will create an action plan through directed at policy makers, governmental agencies, non-profit, and private organizations. The project values lived experiences, decolonizing and intersectional approaches, and diverse 2SLGBTQ+ communities. This project is the first national study on 2SLGBTQ+ Poverty in Canada and its goal is to produce high-impact, evidence-based, policy-relevant knowledge to address 2SLGBTQ+ poverty and encourage and amplify resiliency in these communities.

Visibility matters. Inclusion matters. Celebrating bisexual identities today and every day. 💖💜💙
Today, we celebrate Bisexuality Day, a time to recognize, uplift, and affirm bisexual people and their contributions to our communities.

Bisexual+ people continue to navigate unique challenges, including stigma, invisibility, and barriers to health, social, and economic wellbeing. By increasing awareness, challenging misconceptions, and fostering inclusion, we can help create communities where everyone is seen, valued, and supported.

As we work toward a more equitable future, let's commit to listening to diverse experiences, amplifying bisexual voices, and advocating for policies and practices that support 2SLGBTQ+ communities.

💖💜💙 Happy Celebrate Bisexuality Day!

Creating meaningful change starts with strong community connections and evidence-informed policy.

An important milestone in this process is obtaining the necessary research ethics and territorial approvals, which help ensure that research is conducted respectfully, responsibly, and in ways that prioritize the wellbeing of participants and communities. These approvals lay the foundation for meaningful engagement and trustworthy research partnerships.

Together, we're building knowledge that can help inform more inclusive policies and support greater social and economic wellbeing for 2SLGBTQ+ communities across Canada.

Did you know that building meaningful relationships with northern communities is a critical part of conducting ethical, community-centred research?

The Northern Relations Committee of the 2SLGBTQ+ Poverty in Canada: Improving Livelihood and Social Wellbeing project works to strengthen connections with communities across the North, support local partnerships, and ensure northern voices help shape the research process.

By fostering collaboration and promoting community-informed approaches, the committee helps ensure that the unique experiences of 2SLGBTQ+ people living in northern and remote regions are reflected in research, knowledge sharing, and future policy recommendations.

Through relationship-building, engagement with local organizations, and support for peer researchers, the committee is helping create research that is respectful, inclusive, and responsive to community needs.
