We are delighted to present a seminar and workshop led by Joe Holliday and Holly Greenberry from Intersex UK. Joe Holliday
and Holly Greenberry have been prominent intersex campaigners for many years.

People born with Intersex variations (sometimes known as variations of sex characteristics) and medically referred to with the
controversial term Disorders of Sex Development (DSD) are born with variations in their sex characteristics that are perceived to
fall outside the socially constructed norms for the male and female body. The medical treatment of these variations has raised
criticism from Intersex people themselves, as well as many UN treaty bodies.

The seminar will address the medical treatment of Intersex traits, the rights of the child and other human rights issues, and best
practices for professionals. It will also highlight the lived experiences of people with Intersex traits. The workshop will address
both best practices and lived experience, providing the opportunity for participants to engage more deeply with the topic.
