Support the Gender Identity Bill! from Egale Canada Human Rights Trust

As you may or may not know, transgender people in Canada are still do not benefit from basic human rights. We are not legally protected from discrimination in housing, employment, education, or health care, nor is trans-related violence recognized as a hate crime.

Advocates have been trying to get Bill C-279 passed in parliament for almost 3 years now, which would amend the Canada Human Rights Act to include gender identity as a prohibited ground for discrimination. But despite support, we are still sitting at a stand-still.

If you live in Canada, please visit trans.egale.ca to learn more, contact your senator and urge them to take action about this important human rights issue.
