WHO condemns forced sterilisation of trans and intersex people
The World Health Organisation has together with 6 other UN agencies (OHCHR, UN WOMEN, UNAIDS, UNDP, UNFPA, UNICEF) spoken out against forced sterilisation of trans and intersex people in the publication “Eliminating forced, coercive and otherwise involuntary sterilization”. It calls on states to ‘Ensure that sterilization, or procedures resulting in infertility, is not a prerequisite for legal recognition of preferred sex/gender.’
