Webinar: Collective Power to Protect Intersex Movements

May 20, 2025
9 am EST/ 3 pm CET
Zoom

The intersex movement provides life-saving resources, advocates against harmful medical practices, supports children and youth, and shapes global policy on human rights. Despite this crucial work, the movement faces extremely low funding levels worldwide. The State of Intersex Organizing report (October 2024) found that over half of all intersex organizations (60%) operate on annual budgets of less than $20,000, and 13% have no budget at all. These conditions are now even more dire given recent donor government funding cuts and expected ripple effects across the philanthropic sector.

Join GPP and the Intersex Human Rights Fund (IHRF) with partners Elevate Children Funders Group (ECFG), Funders for LGBTQ Issues, and Ignite Philanthropy for this webinar to learn about and respond to the specific impacts of this funding crisis on intersex movements. 

This session will bring together funders and intersex movement leaders to discuss:

  • Exploration of key data on global intersex funding
  • A review of disproportionate impact of the recent funding cuts
  • Strategic proposals to sustain and strengthen intersex advocacy worldwide

For safety and security reasons, each participant must register and will receive a Zoom link once their registration is verified and accepted. Please do not share the link with anyone.
