Recommendation
The HR Committee was concerned that infants and children born with intersex variations were sometimes subjected to invasive medical interventions for purposes of gender assignment, often based on stereotyped gender roles and performed before the children concerned could provide informed and free consent. The CRPD urged Australia to adopt legal provisions prohibiting such medical interventions on intersex children before they reached the legal age of consent. [Para 14]
