  7. Gender identity and gender expression (brochure)

    April 2014 - People who are transgender, or gender non-conforming, come from all walks of life. Yet they are one of the most disadvantaged groups in society. Trans people routinely experience discrimination, harassment and even violence because their gender identity or gender expression is different from their birth-assigned sex. Under the Ontario Human Rights Code (the Code) people are protected from discrimination and harassment because of gender identity and gender expression in employment, housing, facilities and services, contracts, and membership in unions, trade or professional associations.

  8. Identité sexuelle et expression de l’identité sexuelle (brochure)

    Avril 2014 - Les personnes transgenres ou non conformistes sur le plan du sexe sont issues de tous les milieux. Pourtant, elles constituent l’un des groupes les plus défavorisés de la société. Les personnes trans font couramment l’objet de discrimination, de harcèlement ou de violence étant donné que leur identité sexuelle ou l’expression de celle-ci ne correspond pas au sexe leur ayant été assigné à la naissance. Aux termes du Code des droits de la personne de l’Ontario (Code), nous avons tous le droit de vivre à l’abri de la discrimination et du harcèlement fondés sur l’identité sexuelle ou l’expression de l’identité sexuelle dans les domaines de l’emploi, du logement, des installations et services, des contrats et de l’adhésion à un syndicat ou à une association commerciale ou professionnelle.
