Through this 25-month project, Intersex Canada will strengthen the capacity of the intersex community in Canada and network with broader 2SLGBTQ organizations to advance human rights and equality for intersex people. Intersex Canada’s internal capacity will be strengthened through training for the organization’s leadership, developing a strategic plan, and developing a sustainability plan to address the organization’s capacity to be financially sustainable. The project will address the general lack of visibility of intersex in the 2SLGBTQ+ community and the general public. Key project activities will highlight the needs and advance the rights of intersex individuals, respect for body autonomy, recognition and bring to light the harmful practices done on intersex bodies. The organization will develop an advocacy plan to engage with health care providers to address intersex issues, convene intersex individuals to share lived experiences, engage with other organizations through conferences and develop educational and awareness raising materials to be shared in an online informational hub.
