Truth and Transformation 2026 is the first-of-its-kind national research report by and for Black women, girls, gender-diverse and trans survivors and advocates of gendered anti-Black violence in Canada.

Grounded in the Amourgynoir Framework and community participatory action research methodology, this report centres the lived experiences of B-WGGDT survivors and advocates across fourteen communities — from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific, and across the Prairies, North, and Central Canada.

The report is organized into three volumes, each examining regional patterns of gendered anti-Black violence alongside cross-cutting themes including the experiences of Black 2SLGBTQIA+ survivors, Black Muslim women, Black Francophone communities, and Afro-Indigenous people.

Together, these volumes advance 113 Calls to Action addressed to governments, institutions, and systems at every level — to be held accountable, repair harm, and advance gender equity for Black women, girls, gender-diverse, and trans people across Canada.
