19% of newcomer youth in Toronto have received no formal sexual education.4
Newcomer youth face a lot of barriers to good health including poverty, discrimination and unemployment.1
That’s approximately one out of five youth
Youth are the second largest group of newcomers to Canada, and the newcomer youth population in Toronto is growing every day 2
Newcomer youth are less likely to access sexual health services than SecondGeneration and Canadian-born youth
Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender/Queer (LGBTQ) newcomer youth can experience discrimination and racism in their personal relationships, LGBTQ community in Canada, their family and cultural community, and when they access healthcare 3
In 2015, SNAP did 20 workshops and reached over 350 newcomer youth 1: Kilbride & Aniset, 2001, 2: Global City: Newcomer Health in Toronto Report, 2011, 3: A bed of roses?: Exploring the experiences of LGBT newcomer youth who migrate to Toronto, 2013, 4: Toronto Teen Survey, 2009
