This online event is on Thursday, September 4, 2025 from 1:00 – 2:30 PM EDT.

As part of the Stronger Together project, a gender-based violence (GBV) prevention initiative in the Greater Toronto Area, Pride at Work Canada is conducting research to better understand the experiences of 2SLGBTQIA+ people with GBV in workplace settings.

We know that 2SLGBTQIA+ employees often face unique forms of harassment, discrimination, and violence that are underreported and under-addressed. Your voice can help us change that.

Why Your Participation Matters

The insights gathered from this focus group will:

• Shape training and education for employers on preventing and responding to GBV.
• Inform policy recommendations that center the needs of 2SLGBTQIA+ workers.
• Contribute to creating safer, more inclusive workplaces across the GTA and beyond.

Who Can Participate

We invite 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals who:

• Have experienced or witnessed gender-based violence in a workplace setting.
• Live, work, or have worked in the Greater Toronto Area (including Peel Region, and Durham Region).

Your participation is voluntary, and you may choose to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable.

Our Commitment to Safety

This session will be confidential and trauma-informed, facilitated by members of Pride at Work Canada’s staff team. We will provide information about available supports before, during, and after the session.
