This gathering brings together 24 people from 17 organizations from around the world. Participants agree on three shared demands, which will organize their work in the years to come. They are as follows: "1) To put an end to mutilating and ‘normalising’ practices such as genital surgeries, psychological and other medical treatments, including infanticide and selective abortion (on the grounds of intersex) in some parts of the world. 2) To insure [sic] that the personal, free, prior, and fully informed consent of the intersex individual is a compulsory requirement in all medical practices and protocols. 3) Creating and facilitating supportive, safe and celebratory environments for intersex people, their families and surroundings" (IGLYO, 2011).
