Statement on the restricting the right to marry and legal gender recognition of intersex people

Association of Russian Speaking Intersex People (ARSI), Interseks.Ru, NFP+, and QIT-Initiative express their condemnation of draft bills on changes in family and civil legislation introduced by a group of the Russian Federation Council’s members for consideration by the State Duma of the Russian Federation on July 14, 2020. In our view, these draft bills, if implemented, would jeopardize the human rights of intersex people, namely, the right to marriage and family, the right to respect of private life, the right to medical confidentiality, and freedom from discrimination. In addition, the proposed bills in practice will lead to the inability of intersex people to exercise other rights.
