Aileen’s Background

Tonight our fabulous co-hosts, Paul and Cody, welcome special guest, human rights lawyer and intersex ally, Aileen Kennedy, to the program.   Aileen is a cisgender endosex woman.  Her interest is in advocacy for intersex people which began when she was researching for her PhD in law.  She started reading about medical interventions on young infants and children to ‘normalize’ their bodies.   On The I in Us with Aileen Kennedy, the fabulous hosts, Paul and Cody, speak to Aileen about her valuable contributions to the intersex community.  She mentions how appalled she is with the blatant human rights breaches which appeared to attract so little academic and public attention.

 

Aileen’s Work

Aileen recommends the Health and Human Rights (InterAction) website to The I in Us(https://interaction.org.au) as being the most reliable source of information.  She is now on the Health and Human Rights InterAction Board.  She joined as a Director in 2016 and was Chair from 2022 to 2024.  Also, Eileen has appeared before the NSW parliament advocating for law reform.  She has participated in workshops leading to law reforms in the ACT.
