OII Sverige was formed on the 28th of February 2018. Before that the members were part of a loosely formed network called Intersex Scandinavia. OII SVERIGE envisages a world where the diversity of the human body is both recognized and celebrated beyond our current system which only validates people with bodies and genders which conform to male or female. OII SVERIGE as an organization offers support and advocacy for people with intersex variations, that is, bodies that do not conform to the standard definitions of female and male. OII SVERIGE also offers information to families, patient support groups, and concerned health professionals through presentations by group members. OII Sverige is open to intersex people who want to advocate for intersex human rights, but of course OII SVERIGE will work for all people with intersex variations in Sweden, regardless of if they want to participate in the organizations work or not. The goal for OII SVERIGE is to create a stronger and more collaborative intersex movement in Sweden, increase visibility and the need for everyone to engage with intersex issues.
