UN Adopts Historic Resolution on Intersex Rights

The United Nations Human Rights Council has passed a landmark resolution aimed at protecting the rights of intersex individuals.

The resolution calls for global efforts to combat discrimination, violence, and harmful practices against intersex people.
It was adopted with 24 countries voting in favor, while 23 abstained and none opposed.
The initiative, spearheaded by Finland, South Africa, Chile, and Australia, marks the first of its kind at the UN.
A report on discriminatory laws, acts of violence, and harmful practices against intersex individuals is requested by the resolution.
Experts estimate that up to 1.7% of the population is born with intersex traits, emphasizing the significance of such protections.
