Накратко на български

Здравеопазването и човешките права на интерсекс хората, включително случаите на медицински интервенции без съгласие при непълнолетни, са в центъра на анализа. Тези данни помагат за подобряване на подкрепата към тези семейства и намаляване на дискриминацията в обществото.

Intersex- New Interdisciplinary Approaches

Intersex people’s healthcare, social, and human rights issues are often overlooked, leading to widespread discrimination and human rights violations. Although up to 1.7% of the population is intersex/has variations in sex characteristics (IVSCs), resources to support their inclusion in society are lacking. Internationally, IVSC people face abuses such as non-consensual medical interventions on minors and violations of privacy and family life. Despite recognition of these issues, potentially harmful practices persist in many countries, impacting on IVSC people’s human rights and capacities to contribute to society. Policy makers and practitioners need better information on how to support IVSC individuals and their families. Advancing work in this area promotes a more respectful and diverse society. The INIA Consortium aimed to conduct research supporting the wellbeing and rights of IVSC people, including individuals labelled with the term DSD (disorders or differences of sex development) in medical contexts. The INIA project’s objectives were to: - Generate knowledge that supports the wellbeing and social/economic contributions of intersex people/people with variations of sex characteristics. - Use innovative interdisciplinary academic resources to push forward understandings of intersex and inform academic fields. - Produce excellent research and evidence to help address societal challenges associated with intersex. The training objectives of INIA were: - Train a cohort of experts in the area of intersex and develop original sector-specific and intersectoral competencies. - Develop researcher capacities in research methods with intersex people and their families and with stakeholders (including generating action learning). - Establish a collaborative network of highly skilled researchers and national/international stakeholders. The INIA project succeeded in providing innovative, interdisciplinary research that aims to be useful for IVSC people and wider society, across a range of sectors. Training goals were achieved and an international network of researchers and stakeholders was established.

Цел на проекта

Intersex people are a highly marginalised population whose specific healthcare, social and human rights issues are often overlooked. The United Nations estimates that between 0.05% and 1.7% of infants are born with intersex traits, but intersex is largely invisible at legal and cultural levels. Intersex infants and children are often subjected to medically unnecessary genital surgeries in order to make them conform to physical norms. The dearth of policy frameworks and mechanisms to support intersex people’s social acceptance and inclusion is one reason for this. Non-essential intersex medical treatments are increasingly addressed as damaging to intersex people’s wellbeing, and as breaches of their human rights. Intersex people are diverse and continue to face exposure to multiple forms of discrimination, requiring cross-sectoral policy responses in fields including healthcare, education, and the law. Accordingly, the INIA ETN proposes to train a cohort of 10 early stage researchers working collaboratively to develop knowledge that will inform policy making and practice across a range of key sectors. The training addresses central issues for intersex wellbeing and rights, drawing on intellectual resources provided by legal studies, gender studies, medicine and healthcare, sociology, social work, political science, social policy, cultural studies, and psychology. The practical focus of the programme will be on developing topical and original applied outputs of relevance to stakeholders concerned to support the wellbeing and rights of intersex people. The project will, thanks to the unique competencies of the consortium partners, train a cohort of highly skilled researchers who will enable fast-track developments of intersex studies, policies and practices, working in a multidisciplinary and transectoral network bringing together 21 organisations from 10 countries.
