Nau mai, haere mai​

Intersex Aotearoa invites you to our inaugural Wānanga, a two‑day gathering marking 30 years of intersex advocacy in Aotearoa. This wānanga brings together intersex people, whānau, advocates, community organisations, health professionals, educators, researchers, and allies to reflect, learn, and build the future together.

Grounded in lived experience and collective knowledge, the wānanga centres intersex voices, honours our histories, and strengthens our connections as we work toward a future free from stigma and medical harm.

What to Expect

• Intersex‑led kōrero and presentations

• Panel discussions and facilitated wānanga sessions

• Space for reflection, learning, and collective problem‑solving

• Opportunities to connect with others working toward intersex justice

• A values‑based, respectful, and inclusive environment

This wānanga prioritises safety, care, and accessibility. Content warnings and support options will be available throughout the event.

Acknowledgement
