Contact Form for general requests

Thank you for reaching out to OII Europe! Our team will try its best to answer your request as quickly as possible.

Please note:

OII Europe is a European-based organisation that advocates for the rights of intersex persons. Due to the overwhelming amount of help requests OII Europe receives that fall outside our work sphere, capacities and possibilities, we are only able to reply to the help requests coming from intersex people / people born with variations of sex characteristics or their family members / loved ones.  Also please note: OII Europe is unfortunately unable to assist directly or indirectly with requests related to asylum or seeking international protection, including in Europe.

However, if you are an LGBTQ+ person seeking help or advice, we would suggest that you contact local LGBTIQ organisations closer to you for other forms of support, please have a look at:

  • To find information about local, national or regional organisations working closer to you to protect LGBTIQ+ persons, please see here: ILGA World Member Organisations by World Regions (last checked: Feb 2026)
  • To find information about an organisation working at international level to help LGBTIQ+ people escape state-sponsored violence, see here:Rainbow Railroad We help at-risk LGBTQI+ people get to safety. (last checked: Feb 2026)
  • To find information about an organisation working at international level to protect human rights defenders who are at risk, see here: Front Line Defenders (last checked: Feb 2026)
  • For information about an organisation working at EU level to provide emergency grants and relocation for human rights defenders, see here: ProtectDefenders.eu (last checked: Feb 2026)
  • For information about an organisation working to protect and support transgender persons in Europe and Central Asia, see here: Transgender Europe (last checked: Feb 2026) 

Please note that we have no affiliation to the organisations listed and are unable to influence any of the decisions these organisations take. Also be aware links might have changed or websites differ since the “last checked” date (please see date behind every respective link)
