The Ontario Human Rights Commission

Invites you to the launch of our new Policy on preventing discrimination because of gender identity and gender expression

Date: Monday, April 14, 2014

Time: 10 a.m. to 12 noon

Place: The 519 Church Street Community Centre, Ballroom
            519 Church Street, Toronto, ON M4Y 2C9

People who are transgender, or who otherwise don’t conform to gender stereotypes, come from all walks of life.
Yet, trans people are one of the most disadvantaged groups in society.
They routinely experience prejudice, discrimination, harassment, hatred and even violence.
The OHRC’s new policy promotes understanding and awareness about trans people and their rights.

Join us to learn about how to prevent and deal with discrimination based on gender identity and gender expression.
This policy can help:

• trans people, organizations and advocates
• employers
• housing providers
• service providers
• unions and other vocational associations.
