Intersex Human Rights Association

The Intersex Human Rights Association (IHRA) advocates for the rights of intersex individuals—those born with physical traits that don't fit typical definitions of male or female. The organization works to raise awareness, promote acceptance, and fight against discrimination. It emphasizes the need for informed consent in medical decisions affecting intersex people, especially regarding surgeries and treatments that are often performed in infancy. By collaborating with activists, policymakers, and healthcare professionals, the IHRA aims to protect the dignity and rights of intersex individuals globally, ensuring they can live authentically without stigma or unnecessary medical intervention.
