October 2019 \u2014 Founding of Intersexions.org, Lesotho, South Africa and Swaziland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Founded in October 2019 by Lungile Peaceworth Maquba, Intersexions.org is an intersex rights organisation based in Lesotho, South Africa and Swaziland (eSwatini). The focus of their work is advocacy, support and education aimed at intersex individuals, parents of intersex people, and their allies. While their work is centred in these countries, they envision their work reaching global communities of intersex people and their allies. The organisation was registered in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
