Stand up for our intersex children
29. October 2019 od 19:00–21:00
Do all “lives matter” equally? Are Children’s Rights really respected for every child? What about the 1,7% of children that are born with natural differences in their sex characteristics, so they can’t be easily classified as males or females? What kind of life do they usually have? Why it is so urgent to change the medical protocol for these children? And how could we all advocate for the sake and the rights of these intersex children?
October 26 marks Intersex Awareness Day, which aims to highlight human rights issues faced by intersex individuals. Rinio Simeonidou, an advocate for intersex rights and a proud parent of an awesome intersex kid that paves her activistic path, will join us via video call next Tuesday October 29.
With ‘Pride Connects’, we strive to connect the local LGBTIQ+ youth, activists, and all those interested in the political side of Pride(s) and LGBTIQ+ Human Rights Struggles in Slovenia and across the world.
We know that being an openly LGBTIQ+ person and walking down any public space is a political act, and we know it is not easy – so we want to create a safe(r) space for all LGBTIQ+ people and a place of empowerment.
