OVERVIEW
About Egale Canada:
Egale Canada is a two-star charity. It is not financially transparent, has a below-average results reporting grade, and has reasonable overhead spending.
Egale Canada (Egale) aims to improve the lives of 2SLGBTQI people in Canada and enhance the global response to 2SLGBTQI issues. The charity states that in the first three months of 2023, there were 6,423 anti-2SLGBTQI protests and instances of online hate in Canada. Egale envisions a world free of homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, and all other forms of oppression. The charity addresses these issues through four main programs: research, education, advocacy, and legal advocacy. Egale does not provide a breakdown of spending on its programs.
Egale conducts diverse, community-based research on issues faced by 2SLGBTQI people. Its research focuses on school inclusion and inclusive education, employment and workplace inclusion, gender-based violence, aging issues, health and wellbeing, health access and equity, and intersex rights and issues.
Egale provides educational resources on 2SLGBTQI inclusion, including workplace training and school initiatives. In F2021, Egale’s virtual Workplace Inclusion Training Program held 122 webinars for 4,326 participants. The charity also released a six-episode series on how legal professionals can promote access to justice for 2SLGBTQI people, which more than 1,400 people viewed.
Egale creates awareness campaigns to bring attention to 2SLGBTQI issues. In F2021, the charity ran a holiday campaign highlighting the effects of homophobia, transphobia, and biphobia during the holiday season. Egale also held a virtual Pride celebration and Queer Prom in F2021.
Egale states that its legal advocacy work ensures that its research, education, and awareness work is lasting. It aims to ensure 2SLGBTQI experiences are reflected in policy at all levels of government. In F2021, Egale filed an application at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice to challenge exemptions in the Criminal Code that allow ‘normalizing’ surgery on intersex infants and children.
