We recognize that gender based violence and sexual violence impact 2SLGBTQ+ in unique and complex ways and that this community is chronically underserved by GBV and SV services due to homophobic, transphobic, racist, and colonial ways of approaching the work. 

​

We know that another barrier to accessing safe and informed support is that services are often unaware of some of the ways GBV manifests in the lives of 2SLGBTQ+ folks beyond intimate partner violence. Some folks may encounter experiences of "corrective" sexual violence, outing or threats of outing a survivor's sexual orientation, threats of ostracization from the 2SLGBTQ+ community, withholding of gender affirming gear or hormones, and verbal abuse based on someone's gender  identity, sexual orientation, or sex characteristics etc and more (Queering Gender- Based Violence Prevention & Response in Canada).

​

We are committed to providing a safe place for 2SLGBTQ+ folks to explore and heal experiences of GBV and SV through individual virtual counselling facilitated by queer BIPOC counsellor, fir moon. Email firmoon@mpssas.com to connect.
