Join us as we celebrate the relaunch of ilink.net.au - a new information hub providing resources on physical, mental and sexual health, patient rights and sexual violence prevention for people with innate variations of sex characteristics.
Today is World Day of Social Justice and we are celebrating by highlighting the important work done by our friends and allies in the social justice space. We acknowledge the work of these fine organisations and are proud to take a moment to shine a light on the awesome work they do!
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Emeritus Professor Rosalind Croucher for her exceptional tenure as President of the Australian Human Rights Commission.
InterLink has evolved to offer both individual and group counselling to people with an IVSC of any age, their parents and carers from throughout Australia and Aotearoa/New Zealand.
Ten years ago today, on 25 October 2013, a Senate Committee published a report on the ‘Involuntary or coerced sterilisation of intersex people in Australia’. This was the first parliamentary inquiry into intersex health anywhere in the world, and we celebrate it for this!
Ten years ago today, this site publicly introduced the intersex flag to the world for the first time. The design by Morgan Carpenter incorporated colours in yellow and purple, unassociated with gender.
Today, and with cross-party support, the ACT Assembly has passed legislation introduced by Andrew Barr in March to protect the human rights of people with innate variations of sex characteristics in medical settings.
For Intersex Awareness Day this year we're marking the fifth anniversary of the Darlington Statement, written, ratified, and published in March 2017 during the first Darlington Retreat. This webinar will bring together some of the voices instrumental to the Statement.
Today we are 10! Intersex Human Rights Australia Ltd was formally incorporated as a not-for-profit company on 6 May 2010, under the name OII Australia. Today we celebrate 10 years of advocacy and work to ensure that the human rights and health of people with intersex variations are recognised and respected.
In May 2018, Dr Michael Noble passed away. IHRA lost one of our longstanding members, and Australia lost one of our first wave of intersex activists. We remember him and his works.
