Yhdentyvät

Yhdentyvät is a Finnish social movement and non-profits organization that aims to promote the rights and well-being of intersex individuals in Finland. The organization was formed in 2008 and is one of the few intersex rights organizations in the country.

According to the organization's website, Yhdentyvät seeks to create a safe and inclusive environment for intersex individuals, as well as to raise awareness about intersex issues among the general public. They also work towards ending discriminatory practices and promoting the acceptance of intersex individuals in Finnish society.

Yhdentyvät has been involved in various campaigns and initiatives to promote intersex rights, including advocating for policy changes and legislation that protects the rights of intersex individuals. They have also provided support and services to intersex individuals, including counseling, peer support groups, and advocacy services.

The organization has had various collaborations with other Finnish LGBTQ+ organizations and has participated in several European-level forums and discussions on intersex rights. Yhdentyvät is supported by grants from the Finnish government and private foundations.

In 2017, Yhdentyvät published a report titled "Intersex Statement," which outlined their views on intersex rights and well-being in Finland. The organization has also been a vocal critic of medical interventions on intersex infants and children, advocating for minimal, non-surgical approaches that prioritize the child's physical and emotional well-being.

Yhdentyvät has played a significant role in promoting intersex awareness and advocacy in Finland, making it a notable organization in the European context of intersex rights.
