Intersex Awareness Day

Intersex Awareness Day is observed on October 26 each year to raise awareness about intersex individuals—those born with physical sex characteristics that don't fit typical definitions of male or female. This day highlights the challenges faced by intersex people, including discrimination, medical interventions without consent, and social stigma. By promoting understanding and inclusion, Intersex Awareness Day aims to advocate for the rights and dignity of intersex individuals, encouraging society to embrace diversity in human biology. Events and discussions help educate the public and foster a more accepting atmosphere for all gender identities.
