Intersex Rights
Intersex babies and children are often subjected to unnecessary irreversible medical procedures that modify sex characteristics. The next state government must act to defend the right to bodily integrity of intersex people.
Following Rainbow Futures WA’s Petition No. 68 to progress LGBTIQA+ reform in WA, the Health Minister questioned the need to explore this issue based on a lack of “robust evidence” and was unable to commit to further legislative change. This is despite extensive evidence to support calls for reform. We continue to work towards change in this are as one of our advocacy priorities in this term of government.
