Intersex human rights reports

When people are born, sometimes their body parts don't look exactly like a typical boy or girl. This is called being intersex. Sometimes doctors and parents want to make changes to their body to make them look more like a typical boy or girl. Sometimes this is needed for medical reasons, but it can also happen even if it's not really necessary. This can make it really hard for intersex people to feel like they belong or to make choices for their own body.

Intersex human rights reports are kind of like reports card that people make to see if countries are treating intersex people fairly. They look at things like if intersex people are being respected, if they have access to good medical care, and if they are allowed to have a say in what happens to their bodies. These reports help us understand how different countries are doing and what needs to change to treat intersex people better. It's important to make sure that everyone is treated fairly and has the same rights, no matter how their body looks.
