The I in Us:    Anna Brown and Ghassan Kassisieh

Tune in to and enjoy another educational and compelling episode of The I in Us.  Join our fascinating hosts, Paul and Little Jase, as they speak with two influential respected guests:  Anna Brown and Ghassan Kassiseh.

 

Equality Australia

Anna Brown OAM is CEO of Equality Australia.  As co-chairperson for the Equality team, Anna played a critical role in the campaign for marriage equality.   Ghassan Kassisieh is the outgoing Legal Director of Equality Australia.   Equality Australia is a national organization which supports the rights of the LGBTIQA+ community; providing legal and communications expertise.  The support that Equality Australia has provided to the LGBTIQA+ community has been of immense value to the intersex community.

 

Anna and Ghassan

Both Anna and Ghassan  are human rights advocates, lawyers, and long-time allies of the intersex community.  Each has worked alongside intersex organizations and community members to successfully develop invaluable legislative proposals and policies.  Most importantly, these proposals and policies spell the end of medically unnecessary surgeries on intersex infants which is performed without consent.

Learn about Anna and Ghassan’s advocacy, processes and legislative reforms achieved over the past decade, and their aspirations for the future.  Also find out how Anna greatly improved the processes trans individuals undergo to become their authentic selves.   Learn about the extensive roles and unwavering support tonight’s special guests have given to not only the LGBTIQA+ community as a whole, but also to the intersex community.
