The Rights of Intersex Children in Aotearoa New Zealand
Abstract The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child has recommended that Aotearoa New Zealand ban unnecessary and unconsented surgery on intersex children. Yet, the overall number of surgeries being undertaken on the genital and reproductive organs of children remains largely unchanged. Neither is it clear how many surgeries were undertaken on intersex children and what information and explanations were given to children and their families as to why the surgery was necessary. Culturally sensitive, medical, psychosocial and legal research must inform decision-making around surgical interventions on children with variations in sex characteristics, in order to realise the rights of intersex children in Aotearoa New Zealand.
