Intersex International

Intersex International is an organization that advocates for the rights and well-being of intersex individuals—those whose biological traits don't fit traditional definitions of male or female. The organization focuses on raising awareness about intersex variations, promoting health equity, and fighting against harmful medical practices often imposed on intersex people, especially in childhood. It encourages societal acceptance and understanding, urging a shift away from stigmatization and towards a recognition of intersex as a natural aspect of human diversity. Their efforts aim to empower intersex individuals and foster a more inclusive society.
