Internationale Vereinigung Intergeschlechtlicher Menschen OII Germany

The main mission of OII Germany is to ensure complete legal protection against non-consensual cosmetic and other non-essential medical interventions. The organization advocates for the depathologization of intersex people and calls for individualized, transparent, and unbiased healthcare that considers the actual health needs of those affected[5].

• Human Rights and Self-Determination: OII Germany fights for the preservation of physical integrity and self-determination of intersex people. This includes the demand for the cessation of practices of pre-implantation and prenatal diagnostics aimed at preventing the birth of intersex babies[1][5].
• Social Recognition: The organization works towards enabling intersex people to participate equally in social life, education, sports, and the labor market. It also advocates for the declassification of physical sex characteristics as diseases and for intersex individuals to have access to appropriate counseling when needed[1][5].
• International Cooperation: OII Germany is part of a global network and collaborates with other organizations such as the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association Europe (ILGA Europe) to strengthen the rights of intersex people worldwide[4].

The vision of OII Germany is a world where intersex people are recognized as part of human diversity and protected from non-consensual interventions and discrimination. A world where they are visible, celebrated, and their human rights are upheld[5].
