Intersex Day of Remembrance

Intersex Day of Remembrance, observed on November 14, honors individuals with intersex variations—those born with physical sex characteristics that don’t fit typical definitions of male or female. This day raises awareness about the challenges faced by intersex people, including discrimination, medical interventions, and human rights violations. It also commemorates those who have suffered and advocates for a more inclusive understanding of sex and gender. The observance aims to educate the public, promote acceptance, and encourage policies that respect the rights and dignity of intersex individuals.
