  • The situation of intersex people in medical procedures [Elektronski vir] : special report
    In accordance with Article 22 of the Protection against Discrimination Act (hereinafter: PADA), the Advocate of the Principle of Equality (hereinafter: Advocate) shall report to the National Assembly ... of the Republic of Slovenia about their work and findings on the existence of discrimination involving specific groups of people with certain personal grounds in the framework of special reports. The present Report serves to draw the attention of the legislator and the public to the importance of respecting human rights and equal rights of persons born with such physical characteristics that – according to established medical and/or societal norms – their sex cannot be defined as female or male. The Advocate's decision to focus on the situation of intersex people in medical procedures was based on thematic resolutions of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe1 (2017) and the European Parliament2 (2019). The resolutions tackle, among other things, the issue of the protection of human rights, more specifically equal rights of intersex people in medical procedures, and highlight the problem of medicalisation and pathologisation of intersexuality. /// Based on the available information, the Advocate formulated several recommendations of a systemic character, intended for the executive branch, responsible for planning and implementing policies (the Government and competent ministries), as well as health-care institutions and the health and medical professionals, who are directly in contact with intersex people.
