What is QTC?
Queer Tamil Collective (QTC) is a group of Queer Tamils living in the Diaspora.
Queer Tamils have been at the foreground of advocacy and activism in Canadian arts and culture for over thirty years. Our resounding voice of intersectionality speaks to the violence that we continue to endure being Queer and Tamil.
QTC serves Queer Trans Intersex Tamil Communities with priority given to Dalit and Muslim - Tamil queers.
QTC works within a FEMINIST ANTI-OPPRESSION, SECULAR, FRAMEWORK by implementing Trauma-Informed Approach.
Ensuring that anti-oppression is embedded in everything that QTC does by examining attitudes and actions through the lens of access, equity, and social justice.
A trauma informed approach is inclusive of trauma-specific interventions, whether assessment, treatment or recovery supports, yet it also incorporates key trauma principles into the organizational culture
With over 20 years combined experience, it all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sounds like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
QTC’s Collective Governance:
QTC operates under Collective governance which is an innovative model of governance that is solutions-oriented with a focus on public value, where diverse members can work in partnership to improve the organization’s management of public resources and delivery of services.
