The Seventh Annual Saskatchewan Access to Justice Week is October 24-28, 2022.
This year’s National Access to Justice Week takes place from October 24 – 28, 2022. As part of this year’s activities, JusticeTrans, Law Society of Saskatchewan, and Law Society of Ontario have partnered together to present a virtual session titled “Barriers to Accessing Justice for Two Spirit, Trans, Non-Binary and Gender Nonconforming People in Canada” on October 26 at 10:00 a.m. CST.
In this session, Cat Haines, Executive Director at JusticeTrans, and Tai Jacob, former Executive Director at JusticeTrans will present the results of an Access-to-Justice legal needs assessment of Two Spirit, trans, non-binary, and gender nonconforming (2STNBGN) people conducted by JusticeTrans. It will focus on how discrimination and harassment cut across other legal issues, including employment, housing, migration, medical treatment, and how structural changes must happen.
