Envisioning LGBT Refugee Rights in Canada: Is Canada a Safe Haven? (Report, September 2015) ocasi-admin September 30, 2015

This report from the Envisioning Global LGBT Human Rights research project looks at the experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) asylum seekers living in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) and the experiences of community service providers. It offers 37 recommendations for improving policies and services.

For the research, eight community partners organized focus groups with 92 asylum seekers, and service provider focus groups were also held. The research was conducted in 2012-2014, a time of significant change in Canada’s immigration and refugee system.

OCASI Launches the Positive Space Assessment Tool ocasi-admin June 30, 2014

OCASI is pleased to announce the launch of thePositive Space Assessment Tool!

This free and anonymous online questionnaire was designed in 2013-2014 to benchmark organizational standards for serving LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, etc.) newcomers. It can be used by organizations to:

Understand clearly what a Positive Space is, involves, and looks like in both theory and practice

Assess how positive their space really is for LGBTQ+ newcomers and staff, including compliance with Ontario Human Rights Code laws and best practices in settlement services

Identify key strengths and target areas for improvement
Connect to necessary resources that are tailored based on need
Stimulate internal dialogue, and use assessment results as a catalyst to:
Access training
Create or revise policies
Consult with stakeholders
Pilot new initiatives, programs, partnerships, etc.
Evaluate effectiveness of change initiatives and monitor progress over time

This can be done by re-taking the Assessment Tool at a later date and comparing with previous results.

We would like to thank the OCASI Positive Spaces InitiativeAdvisory Committeewho graciously gave their time, energy, wisdom, and encouragement in the development of this tool. Your knowledge, experience, and generosity are what made this possible.
