35% of nonprofits say the biggest internal barrier facing their organization today is a lack of staff with the right skill set to manage their digital transformation journey. On May 30th, we hosted a panel discussion on the ethical considerations charities and nonprofits need to consider when embedding AI technologies within their organization.

It’s time we had a real conversation about intimate partner violence in 2SLGBTQI+ communities. I’ll admit I hadn’t given the issue much thought until I received a phone call one day from a friend asking for my help. She needed advice on how to support a 2SLGBTQI+ community member. The individual identified as trans, and my friend was looking to connect them with local 2SLGBTQI+ community resources geared towards people experiencing intimate partner violence. My friend just so happens to be the visionary founder and executive director of The 482 Collective – a charity serving women, children and gender-diverse individuals in the Greater Toronto Area and York Region who are experiencing intimate partner violence and human trafficking. I did what I could to point her in the right direction, but realized I needed to learn more about intimate partner violence in Canada’s 2SLGBTQI+ communities. We usually think of intimate partner violence, or IPV, in the context of monogamous, straight relationships. Yet it’s prevalent in 2SLGBTQI+ relationships, too. Rainbow Health Ontario (RHO) defines IPV as “all forms of violence between individuals in a romantic or sexual relationship, including physical, psychological/emotional and sexual violence.” IPV can also manifest in behaviours that are specific to the lived experiences of 2SLGBTQI+ individuals, like outing someone or preventing them from accessing essential items related to their gender or sexual identity.  I penned an important piece about intimate partner violence in Canada's 2SLGBTQI+ communities for the spring issue of InMagazine. It explores how to spot the signs and what to do if you believe someone you know may be experiencing IPV. If you’re experiencing intimate partner violence, know that you matter, you’re not alone, and help is available. 💗 #IntimatePartnerViolence #2SLGBTQ #INMagazine https://lnkd.in/gJK4iw38
