OCASI - The Positive Spaces Initiative (PSI) cordially invites you to participate in the upcoming virtual roundtable:
Bridging Gaps: Intersectional Approaches to Addressing Gender-Based Violence in 2SLGBTQIA+ Newcomer Communities
- Date: July 9, 2025
- Time: 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm EST.
About this Roundtable
Join us for an interactive virtual roundtable exploring how systemic barriers and intersecting identities shape the experiences of 2SLGBTQIA+ newcomers navigating gender-based violence (GBV). This space will convene advocates, frontline workers, service providers, and community leaders to unpack urgent service gaps and advance transformative, community-driven solutions.
Join us to:
- Identify key service gaps impacting 2SLGBTQIA+ newcomers experiencing GBV
- Examine how intersectional approaches can deepen our understanding of barriers to safety, justice, and support
- Learn from survivor-informed and community-led responses
- Strengthen cross-sector collaboration to build more inclusive and coordinated systems of care
Whether you are a service provider, researcher, advocate, or community member, this space will offer meaningful dialogue, knowledge-sharing, and opportunities to strengthen our collective response to GBV.
