Easter Saturday, 8th April, 2023: Morgan Carpenter: International Human Rights Australia -Intersex Reforms

Macca, Dave and Paul talk to Morgan Carpenter.

Morgan is a bioethicist and executive director of Intersex Human Rights Australia. He has been named as a significant contributor to a 2021 Australian Human Rights Commission report on the health and human rights of people born with variations in characteristics. This year, his “tireless work” was singled out for particular recognition, by Australian Capital Territory Chief Minister Andrew Barr, in introducing Australian-first legislation to protect the rights of people with innate variations of sex characteristics in medical settings. Morgan has also changed the global and local face of intersex advocacy: in 2013 he designed and shared the Intersex Flag, now used across the world, framed around concepts of bodily integrity and autonomy
