Intersex awareness day is designed to highlight the human rights issues facing intersex people globally, and to encourage visibility, education and inclusion of people with intersex variation.
Activities could include intersex awareness and education within agencies. Visit the Intersex Human Rights Australia range of resources on how to be a good intersex ally. Agencies could consider developing a gender-neutral language guide to encourage the use of gender-neutral pronouns in agency communications.
Queensland Government employees can get involved by hosting morning teas, or contacting the LGBTIQ+ Steering Committee for information on webinars and online resources.
