Digital Safety Strategies: Mitigating and Preventing Queerphobic Online Hate
We are excited to announce that ODLAN has received funding from the Government of Canada’s Community Services Recovery Fund for the project “Digital Safety Strategies: Mitigating and Preventing Queerphobic Online Hate.” For this project, we will be building on our previous research on anti-2SLGBTQIA+ online hate to develop six publicly available modules that will support 2SLGBTQIA+ non-profit leaders in understanding anti-2SLGBTQIA+ online hate from an intersectional perspective. The modules will also support service providers with developing and implementing a digital safety plan.
Thanks to the Government of Canada’s Community Services Recovery Fund, Canadian Red Cross , Community Foundations of Canada, and United Way Canada for their support in making this project a reality.
Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility 2023! Every year on March 31st we come together to celebrate the accomplishments of the Trans community and raise awareness about Trans discrimination around the world. In celebration we have highlighted some resources that offer information and support on a variety of trans and non-binary topics.
Here at ODLAN we are extremely disappointed to see the online hate that has been generated in response to Hershey’s inclusion of Fae Johnstone, a trans woman, in an ad campaign celebrating Women’s History Month.
February is Black History Month. To celebrate the contributions that the Black community has made to the world of tech (and beyond) we would like to take a moment to highlight some resources.
