Doctors indicate that they do not disclose the truth to intersex children and their parents about the children’s bodies or the interventions they received. Neighbouring countries, such as Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, also regularly refer intersex children to Russia for these procedures. The State has issued statements in support of these practices. Interrogation can result in police brutality intersex people can find themselves in dangerous situations due to their private information being disclosed. As a result, many intersex people try to remain invisible out of fear of social stigma, pathologization and discrimination. Therefore, intersex children in Russia seek protection under Articles [Art. 1, 2, 10, 11, 12, 14, and 16 of the Convention Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. Suggested Questions Intersex Russia/Oii Russia and NNID request the Committee to consider these issues for the compilation of the List of Issues Prior to Reporting and suggest the following questions for the Committee to request the government of the Russian Federation to provide information on: What medical treatments are provided to intersex children and clarify whether their free, prior and fully informed consent is ensured? What measures are taken to ensure private data of intersex people is not revealed by law enforcement? How does the Russian Federation plan to ensure that intersex people have access to correct identity documents and medical care? Introduction This NGO report is a joint submission by Intersex Russia/OII Russia, and NNID Foundation to highlight key issues faced by intersex people in Russia. This submission does not provide information regarding all existing issues. Nonetheless, Intersex Russia and NNID would greatly appreciate the consideration of the presented issues by the Committee Against Torture for the List of Issues Prior to Reporting (LOIPR). The paragraphs give contextual information on topics that specifically affect intersex children, and suggestions for questions that can be used to prepare the LOIPR. Appendix 1 contains background information on intersex and harmful practices. Intersex Russia was established in March 2017 with the mission to provide an accurate and positive representation of the intersex community in Russia, to raise awareness about the existence of intersex people and the issues that the intersex community faces, advocate for intersex human rights, and provide support to intersex people across the country. NNID Foundation is an intersex-led human rights organization working for the equality, rights, and visibility of intersex people, and is based in the Netherlands. Intersex people in Russia Intersex refers to the experiences of people born with a body that does not meet the normative definition of male and female. In Russia, intersex people are experiencing violations of their fundamental human rights, including the right to full informed consent, physical integrity, bodily autonomy and self-determination. Selective abortions of fetuses with some intersex variations are allowed up to 22 weeks and are routinely performed. This is ten weeks more than the cut-off date for non-intersex fetuses1. Some intersex variations are officially considered a disability2. This supports the pathologization of intersex people, limits their chances of finding a job, chances of being adopted and their access to adopting themselves in the future. On the other hand, it is useful for some intersex people since it allows them to get disability benefits. As a result, many intersex people try to remain invisible out of fear of social stigma, pathologization and discrimination. Non-consensual unnecessary medical interventions on intersex children [Art. 2, 10, 12, 14, and 16] Inhuman treatment for intersex children includes non-necessary medical interventions, and intrusive and irreversible treatments, that can safely be deferred until a later age when these children can provide personal, prior, free, and fully informed consent. For more general background on intersex and harmful practices, see appendix 1. Non-necessary medical interventions, including surgery, hormone treatment, and psychological treatment to ‘strengthen’ the assigned sex are common. Additionally, it is remarkably common for these practices to be covered by the media. A Urologist/andrologist from St. Petersburg indicated in an interview that he performs about 250 surgeries on intersex children’s genitals each year. He considers 8-18 months the optimal age for surgery. Decisions regarding gender are often made based on chromosomal sex. He states: ‘If it turns out that a boy has been born, we not only "make" the penis and urethra, but also shape the scrotum’ and ‘When it becomes clear that this is a girl, we do the so-called feminizing genitoplasty, clitoroplasty, labiaplasty, vaginoplasty’.3 This doctor performed surgery on an 8-month-old in March 2019 in St-Petersburg, which received much positive attention from national media. Most media attention goes to surgery where children’s genitalia are altered to fit the female norm, as genital surgeries to achieve an appearance that fits the male norm are more common.4 It is indicated that they perform more surgeries on boys than on girls.

    Meyers Final Note (Do Not Delete) 5/24/2019 1:55 PM “Tragic and Glorious Pages”: The Evolution of Intersex Rights in Russia and Reframing Law and Tradition to Advance Reform MAGGIE J. MEYERS* I. INTRODUCTION “Despite all the achievements of civilization, the human being is still one of the most vulnerable creatures on earth.” - Vladimir Putin1 “You are alone, you are not normal”; that is how Aleksander Berezkin learned he was intersex.2 Born in 1984 in Novokuznetsk—a steel-producing town in southwestern Siberia, not unlike Pittsburgh in terms of climate and local economy3—Aleksander lived the life of an ordinary boy until his adolescence, when puberty failed to arrive. “When I was at school, my body looked visibly different from other teenagers,” Aleksander recalled.4 “I had no muscles . [n]o hair on the face. I was skinny and tall. With narrow shoulders and wide hips. Breast glands were enlarged. Sometimes people took me for a girl. I have been bullied and humiliated.”5 Desperate for answers and relief from the merciless taunting and social ostracism, at the age of seventeen Aleksander submitted to a genetic test that revealed the truth. While typical males have the chromosomes XY, Aleksander’s were XXY; he was diagnosed with a variation of Klinefelter syndrome, in which an extra X chromosome inhibits the body’s production of testosterone and leads to the development of stereotypically feminine traits in males.6 But Aleksander received little comfort from his intersex diagnosis, nor Copyright © 2019 by Maggie J.

By investing in their health and education, governments can support young people’s engagement in society, ensure their well- being, and help them achieve their full potential. Positioned at the crossroads of education and health, comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) is vital to advancing health outcomes and gender equality. It gives young people the tools they need to have healthy lives and relationships, and helps them navigate life- changing decisions about their sexual and reproductive health. Yet, many young people receive a range of scientifically incorrect, conflicting and confusing messages about sexuality and gender on a daily basis. This can lead to serious risks for their health, well-being and dignity. As a result, poor sexual and reproductive health outcomes are a reality for many young people today. This points to the urgent need for effective CSE on a large scale. Published by UNFPA, together with contributing agencies UNESCO, UNICEF, UNAIDS and WHO, the International Technical and Programmatic Guidance on Out-of-School Comprehensive Sexuality Education is an indication of our joint commitment to this work.
