Intersex Asia is an autonomous regional network of intersex-led organizations and individuals from Asian countries that work to support, educate and advocate for the rights and lives of intersex individuals and raise awareness on human rights violations and discrimination faced by intersex communities.
Intersex Asia was established when 12 intersex people representing organizations and communities from Hong Kong (China), India, Indonesia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam came together to attend the first Asian Intersex Forum which took place in February 2018 in Bangkok, Thailand.
Intersex Asia is committed to working within Asian diversity to uphold non-discrimination, justice, and empowerment. We respect the human rights of every human being, regardless of their sex characteristics. Our work highlights equality, inclusivity, and accountability in order to build a transparent, holistic, and sustainable intersex movement in the regions of Asia.
