Advancing 2SLGBTQ+ health equity in Ontario through provider training, resources and advocacy.

Faire progresser l'équité en matière de santé 2SLGBTQ+ en Ontario grâce à la formation des prestataires, aux ressources et aux efforts de plaidoyer. Rainbow Health Ontario works to ensure 2SLGBTQ+ communities receive equitable, affirming health care across Ontario. We train health care and service providers in clinically and culturally competent care, develop evidence-based resources, advocate for inclusive policy change, and host Canada’s largest 2SLGBTQ+ health conference. Santé arc-en-ciel Ontario œuvre afin de permettre aux communautés 2SLGBTQ+ de recevoir des soins de santé équitables et respectueux dans l'ensemble de l'Ontario. Nous aidons les prestataires de soins de santé à développer leurs compétences cliniques et culturelles, élaborons des ressources fondées sur des données probantes et plaidons en faveur de changements de politique inclusifs.

February 25 is Pink Shirt Day—a day to raise awareness about bullying. According to data from the Canadian Health Survey of Children and Youth (2019):

➡️ 77% of sexually and gender diverse youth were bullied in the previous year, compared to 69% of their cisgender, heterosexual peers.

➡️ 10% of sexually and gender diverse youth faced bullying weekly or daily, versus 6% of other youth.

On Pink Shirt Day, and every day, we must implement strategies to make spaces safer for 2SLGBTQ+ youth.

"Studies show that Black birthing people are 3-4 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications than white birthing people, even when education and income are accounted for. This is not due to biology — it is the result of implicit bias, medical racism, and systemic neglect."

In our Gender-Affirming Perinatal Care course, we share this important resource: The Reproductive Health + Equity Resource Guide on the Black U.S. Experience. Read more: https://docs.google.com/document/d/19jvh-jZw07e307ZGscatwkO4WFj0lAHRSAgXP5EBsYI/edit?usp=sharing

Established in 1979 by the Canadian Le***an and Gay Rights Coalition, Pink Triangle Day (which took place over the weekend on Feb. 14) commemorates a foundational legal victory for the 2SLGBTQ+ community in Canada: the acquittal of Pink Triangle Press on obscenity charges.

2026 marked the 47th anniversary of this Canadian tradition.

Our work to advance 2SLGBTQ+ health is inherently intersectional. We cannot achieve equity without confronting anti-Black racism and centring the voices, experiences and leadership of Black 2SLGBTQ+ people. Not just in February, but all year long.
