Interconnected
About the Team & Sponsors
The "Interconnected" children's book project would have not been possible without the help of the following:
The Sponsors:
Intersex Asia
Intersex Asia is a network organization based in Taiwan to mobilize intersex people in Asia to reach out to each other, learn intersex human rights knowledge and join the Asian intersex movement to change society to support and protect intersex human rights.
Intersex Philippines
Intersex Philippines started as an online group until its members decided to form the group and register as an organization to represent the intersex community of the country. Their goal is to advocate for the collective need to be included in society without stigma and prejudice. The main idea of the group was to give support to fellow intersex individuals in the form of online counseling and sharing of experience since intersex individuals are isolated thus making it difficult for them to discuss their body, health, sexual orientation and other issues.
