Advocacy for intersex rights

Advocacy for intersex rights involves supporting and promoting the recognition, dignity, and autonomy of intersex individuals—people born with physical sex characteristics that don’t fit typical definitions of male or female. This movement seeks to ensure access to healthcare that respects their informed choices, legal protections against discrimination, and the freedom to define their identities without unnecessary medical interventions. It aims to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and foster societal acceptance of intersex people as equal members of society.
