The Trans Inclusion Project:
Supporting Trans Survivors of Abuse and Violence

The Trans Inclusion Project is a partnership between The 519 Community Centre and Education Wife Assault to provide training and support for anti-violence and assaulted women’s agencies to make their services accessible to trans survivors of violence. This project operates through a feminist and anti-racist / anti-oppression approach, locating access work in connection to larger struggles for equality. Staffed by members of the trans community, this project offers training and facilitation opportunities for trans people to build the skills necessary to work in partnership and create change within community services.

Funding for this project has been provided by the United Way Freedom from Violence grant opportunity and the City of Toronto, Breaking the Cycle of Violence.

Also see Trans Access Project for information on trans access to homeless shelters.
