Safety cannot end at the border.
This week, QTMAAWE brought the experiences of q***r and trans migrants in Windsor-Essex to Parliament Hill for 2SLGBTQIA+ Hill Day 2026.
Our team joined advocates from across Canada to call for renewed and expanded federal investment in 2SLGBTQI+ communities — and to make sure q***r and trans migrants are part of that conversation.
We spoke about the need for safe housing, inclusive workplaces, healthcare, economic opportunity, sustainable community funding, and policies shaped by lived experience.
For many q***r and trans migrants, safety is not just about arriving somewhere new. It is about being able to build a life with dignity, stability and belonging.
We are grateful to everyone who helped make this advocacy day possible, and we’re returning to Windsor-Essex committed to carrying this work forward. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
