Submission prepared by OII Europe
From the introduction:
The Victims’ Rights Directive, in its current form, does not yet recognize intersex people as victims of bias motivated crime, in particular gender-based violence, and as victims with specific needs. The following submission presents data on the scope of violence intersex people face, points out the specific needs of intersex victims, and puts forward recommendations on how these needs and specific situations of intersex victims can be better addressed through the Victims’ Rights Directive.
