Our Story
Black Femme Legal Toolkit was born out of an informal working group of Black queer women, femmes and gender diverse folks who experienced anti-Black violence, discrimination, harassment and misogynoir in the workplace. As we all used various forms of accountability mechanisms in order to heal, Black Femme Legal seeks to curate all of the resources that have supported us in various ways, as to support other Black queer women, femmes and gender diverse folks navigating similar experiences.
OUR VISION
Because we all define accountability and justice differently, the purpose of the Black Femme Legal toolkit is threefold: (1) to provide legal education and information; (2) to provide legal referrals and services; and (3) to provide non-legal resources and support to Black 2SLGBTQI+ workers across Ontario through a Black femme-centered approach, lens and praxis.
