🔙✨ Throwback Thursday ✨🔙

May 16, 2025, United Nations Headquarters. Our founder, Fafali Delight Akortsu, demanded visibility, justice, and fundamental human rights for intersex people worldwide. Her words carried the resilience of those silenced and the hope for a future where bodily autonomy and intersex-affirming laws are the norm.

Let’s keep the momentum going. Share, amplify intersex voices, and stand for justice.

🔙 to the beginning of a powerful journey with Ghana's health practitioners. Before the training, we listened—gathering insights, surfacing gaps, and hearing the heart behind their care.

🎓 Then came transformation: training community health nurses and midwives to offer affirming, informed support to intersex individuals. The Intersex Persons Society of Ghana proudly led the way through our initiative: Advancing Rights and Visibility for Intersex Individuals.

📘 Side by side with our groundbreaking book, _S*x is Not Binary; Intersex Variations_, this movement is reshaping care, breaking down stigma, and upholding dignity across clinics and communities.

Together, we're cultivating a future where inclusion is not the exception—it’s the standard. 💜💛

: Let Kids Grow, Let Kids Choose

🎥 New video: A heartfelt conversation in Krobo (Ada,Ga, Ga-Adangbe), Twi, and Ewe.

Our Intersex Program Officer and community health educators sat down for an honest, multilingual dialogue; encouraging parents and guardians of intersex children to protect their child’s right to grow, choose, and thrive.

Let’s pause the pressure for medically unnecessary, irreversible surgeries on babies and children. This conversation calls for dignity, bodily autonomy, and community-led care rooted in cultural wisdom.

📣 Watch, share, and be part of a movement that centers love, listening, and liberation.

Violence against women and girls remains one of the most prevalent and pervasive human rights violations in the world.

Every 10 minutes, a woman is killed by an intimate partner or family member. This must end.

UN Women works to help women and girls enjoy their full and equal rights, in safety and dignity.

When Justice Misspeaks, We Rise.

IPSOG strongly condemns the harmful remarks made during the vetting of Supreme Court nominee Justice Hafisata Amaleboba. These statements reflect a deep misunderstanding of intersex realities in Ghana and reinforce stigma, discrimination, and violence.

📢 We remind the nation:
– Intersex people are real, valid, and Ghanaian
– We deserve dignity, protection, and representation
– Our rights are human rights.

✊🏾 We call on the Government of Ghana to:
1. Ban medically unnecessary surgeries on intersex minors
2. Fund public awareness campaigns
3. Ensure inclusive health, education, and sports policies
4. Include intersex data in the national census
5. Offer psychosocial support services

To the media: report with truth and compassion.
To our allies: act boldly and stand with us.
To all Ghanaians: we are here, and we will not be erased.

📝 Signed,
Fafali D. Akortsu
President, Intersex Persons Society of Ghana (IPSOG)
