Possible Practices for Protecting Canadian Organizations from Queerphobic Online Hate

A Digital Citizen Contribution Program project

This project will capture 2SLGBTQ+ professional experiences with online hate. Our objective is to capture how nonprofits and charities that service 2SLGBTQ+ communities become targets of online harassment by conducting and analyzing in-depth interviews. Using a feminist intersectional approach, we will critically examine how online hate-groups target organizations that serve 2SLGBTQ+ people and how they mitigate these issues. This project will identify current strategies organizations use to support 2SLGBTQ+ members of their organization who are victims of cyberviolence.
