Intersex Movements

Seeding intersex politics to reforest sex monoculture and root diverse resistance

Intersex people are born with diverse sex characteristics. On that basis, they face persistent abuses and violations of their human rights.

GATE works collaboratively at the global level to create a world free from human rights violations based on sex characteristics by transforming the landscape of global advocacy, knowledge creation and resource distribution.

Calls for participation

Centering intersex people and communities, we platform powerful messages and amplify the call for effective change

GATE’s Intersex Program aims at engaging and securing broad participation of the people most affected by the disproportionate challenges and impacts imposed by the variations of their sex characteristics. Our programmatic and operational activities need permanent input and collaboration from intersex community members. 

If you are an intersex person or represent an intersex group willing to collaborate, reach out to us at intersex@gate.ngo.

INTERSTATES-OF-THE-ART

INTERSTATES-OF-THE-ART is a collection of art pieces requested from intersex artivists. The artivist pieces, authors’ biographies and personal statements of art compose a gallery, launched on IDoA 2022.

Intersex experiences have been surrounded by troubling silence. The endosex regime turned out to be spurious as it operates as a censor actor. Otherwise, it cannot exist. As a result, sex variations and the people with these traits still face challenges to appearing in public and to figure as a public in a number of public arenas, globally. There is very little interest in empowering intersex people in our societies, which makes the right to been seen an important issue of intersex groups and individuals.

A state-of-the-art product can both summarize an issue and reveal a new agenda, while it can also be described as products of the authors’ own particular interpretation or a collection of their specific agendas. The collection of crafting Statements for IDoA 2022 is a chance to collect intersex artivists perpectives and agendas around intersex politics and arts and to highlight intersex artists personal statements of art.

Intersex Bodies, Global South Alliances

Intersex groups in the Global South are far less likely to receive funding, to have access to community initiatives and to regional and global entry points for policy advocacy, compared to groups in the Global North.

This webinar series aims to provide a safe space for intersex movements and activists from the Global South to come together and discuss sex variations and intersex issues at the regional level.
