talks: intersex issues
"Intersex rights now! Sydney and Frankie's lived histories–from having been denied education to having endured coercive surgeries–lay bare what Kenya must DO NOW regarding the intersex task force report. It is not a matter of policies alone but of justice. We urge them to take swift action to: render intersex individuals legally recognized, ban harmful surgeries on children, provide access to health care, offer equal opportunities to education, and ensure respect for dignity everywhere.".

Join Sydney, Frankie, and the intersex community in demanding.
