Pour les droits des femmes du Québec, which describes itself as feminist, non-partisan, “universalist” and secular, first received provincial funding of about $120,000 in 2019-20
The Quebec government came under fire this week for funding a women’s group that is alleged to have spread transphobic views and targeted trans activists online.
“The government is using public funds to subsidize an organization, PDF Québec, who are openly transphobic,” Maccarone said. The $143,000 given to the group for the 2022-23 fiscal year goes directly against the province’s action plan to combat homophobia and transphobia, she added. Fae Johnstone, an Ottawa-based activist, said that she was called a “violent man” in a tweet last week by PDF Québec. She said that in the past, the group has also described her as “misogynistic.”
PDF Québec, which describes itself as feminist, non-partisan, “universalist” and secular, first received provincial funding of about $120,000 in 2019-20. The group, which was created in 2013, did not respond to repeated requests for comment this week. Celeste Trianon, a Montreal trans activist who runs a legal aid clinic helping trans women, said that she has been targeted by PDF Québec on multiple occasions.
