Le risque d’infection par le VIH est souvent méconnu et négligé chez les femmes cis et trans et les personnes bispirituelles et non binaires, ce qui se traduit par une plus faible sensibilisation aux options de prévention du VIH, en particulier aux médicaments préventifs. La stigmatisation, les obstacles systémiques et les circonstances personnelles peuvent influencer le degré de sensibilisation. La présente ressource vise à rehausser la sensibilisation des femmes cis et trans aux médicaments pour la prévention du VIH qui sont offerts, afin de favoriser l’autonomie en matière de santé sexuelle.

L’objectif de cette ressource est de clarifier comment les déterminants sociaux et structurels de la santé affectent certaines populations plus que d’autres, et d’aider les organismes communautaires à élaborer des stratégies pour en tenir compte et pour favoriser l’équité en matière de santé. Le piquenique comme outil visuel évoque les sentiments de collaboration et de connexion qu’on trouve dans la planification et le partage d’un repas. La planification doit être intentionnelle et minutieuse, pour favoriser le bon déroulement du rassemblement. Bien que les déterminants sociaux et structurels de la santé aient un impact sur tous les aspects de la santé, cette ressource se concentre sur le risque de VIH et les résultats de santé. Tout au long du travail de l’IFVS, nous utilisons des méthodes créatives afin de renforcer les capacités communautaires. Nous utilisons ces méthodes pour soutenir un éventail de styles d’apprentissage et d’engagement.

A report on how Bill 6: The Safer Municipalities Act and Bill 10:The Protect Ontario Through Safer Streets and Stronger Communities Act will impact cis women and gender-diverse people.

A report on how the closure of SCS will have a dire impact on women and gender-diverse people.

In light of ongoing HIV diagnoses among cis women, despite decreases in other populations, such as men
who have sex with men, various testing approaches, including HIV self-tests are being targeted at cis women as a means
of identifying undiagnosed HIV infections and of linking those with positive test results to care. Little, however, is known
about risk characteristics of cis women who access HIV self-tests in Canada. This study examines demographic characteristics, risk factors, and test results of cis women
who obtained HIV self-tests through the HIV self-testing platform, GetaKit.ca.

This resource provides information about the child
protection system in Toronto. Stigma and
discrimination against parents who use substances —
which is made worse by colonialism, racism, sexism,
classism, homophobia, transphobia, other forms of
discrimination, and poverty — affects the experience of
people who use substances involved with the child
protection system and makes it more difficult to access
the resources and support they need. This resource provides legal information for parents
who use substances that are involved with the child
protection system in Toronto, their loved ones, and
their service providers.

This webinar explores the rapid increase in syphilis cases among women in Canada over recent years, examining the social determinants of health, systemic barriers to care and intersecting forms of discrimination that drive the epidemic.

While ACB communities have made progress in reducing HIV rates, ongoing challenges such as racism, discrimination, and mistrust in the healthcare system can discourage individuals from seeking or continuing HIV prevention, treatment, and care services. Addressing these systemic barriers is essential for improving health outcomes and achieving equity.
