Intersex people’s healthcare, social and human rights issues are often overlooked. They continue to face exposure to multiple forms of human rights violations and discrimination, requiring cross-sectoral policy responses in fields including healthcare, education, and the law.
The INIA Consortium aims to conduct research that will support the wellbeing and rights of intersex people and those who are born with some variations of sex characteristics but do not identify as intersex (hereafter: intersex people/people with variations of sex characteristics). This includes people who are given the label of DSD (disorders or differences of sex development) in medical contexts.
