The 2SLGBTQ+ Canadian Healthcare Bill of Rights for Advanced Illness, Frailty and End of Life (2SLBGTQ+ Bill of Rights) assists people who are Two-Spirit and LGBTQ+ in receiving healthcare that is respectful, feels safe, and is free from discrimination. 2SLGBTQ+ Canadians living with advanced illness or who are frail may face additional challenges when seeking care.
Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression; however, unfortunately, the reality is sometimes different.
We’ve created this publication to help you know your rights and to assist you in obtaining care that is respectful and inclusive.
The 2SLBGTQ+ Bill of Rights outlines your rights when accessing healthcare; highlights what decisions you are entitled to make; and details what actions you can take if you’re not receiving access to respectful and inclusive care.
