Nunavut

Ce que la loi permet

Medical care for minorsNo protections for kids

Nunavut has no law restricting puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones or surgeries for minors. Across Canada, Canadian Institute for Health Information data show double mastectomies on minors as young as 14. Nunavut covers the cost through its public health plan.

PrisonsMales can be housed in women's prisons

A male who identifies as a woman can be housed in a women's federal prison, even if his body is male and his identification still says male, unless a health or safety problem cannot be resolved. A federal count of 99 gender-diverse prisoners, from December 2017 to March 2020, found that 62 percent were males who identify as women. At the end of that count, 67 percent of that group were still in men's prisons. Nunavut has no federal women's prison. Women sentenced federally from Nunavut go to Edmonton Institution for Women or Okimaw Ohci Healing Lodge.

Le Nunavut fait partie du Canada. Voir Canada.

Le Nunavut n’a aucune loi qui restreint les bloqueurs de puberté, les hormones du sexe opposé ou les chirurgies pour les mineurs. À l’échelle du Canada, les données du Canadian Institute for Health Information montrent des doubles mastectomies sur des mineurs dès l’âge de 14 ans. Le Nunavut en assume le coût par son régime public de santé.
