In April 2024, something truly transformative happened at the United Nations (https://ilga.org/news/united-nations-intersex-resolution-human-rights-council/): the Human Rights Council adopted its first-ever resolution specifically addressing discrimination, violence, and harmful practices against persons with innate variations in sex characteristics.


For this episode, we sat down with four intersex human rights defenders:  Crystal Hendricks (ILGA World), Obioma Chukwuike (Intersex Nigeria), Kimberly Zieselman (Outright International) and Kaisli Syrjänen (ISIO – Intersex Human Rights Finland and OII Europe) shared with us what this resolution means to intersex movement, and their own experience as human rights advocates.


This is a much-needed listen to learn more and take action: the United Nations Officer of the High Commissioner for Human Rights has recently published a call for input – seeking to inform the preparation of the report mandated by this resolution, and there is until 20 November 2024 to send your comments!
