From March 11-23, I had the profound honour of travelling from Australia to New York to participate in the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW70) and Outright International's Advocacy Week. This journey was not just a trip across the globe, but a vital mission to advance intersex rights on the international stage and connect with fellow advocates from around the world.

Today, the Victorian Government took a historic step toward protecting the rights of children with innate variations of sex characteristics, introducing legislation that will prevent unnecessary medical interventions without the individual’s free and informed consent.
