Abstract

Despite the seemingly progressive strides made in promoting the rights of children in many African countries, the rights of intersex children remain hidden. This paper explores the lived experiences of intersex children in Zimbabwe drawing from in‐depth interviews conducted with intersex children aged between 8 and 16 years. The paper reveals a myriad of overlapping challenges faced by intersex children compounded by a lack of legal recognition and influence of cultural and religious discourses which threaten intersex children's sexual and reproductive health rights including their right to bodily autonomy and integrity, as well as their right to education.

津巴布韦双性儿童权利导航

尽管许多非洲国家在促进儿童权利方面取得了看似进步的进展，但双性儿童的权利仍被掩盖。本文通过对 8 至 16 岁双性儿童的深入访谈，探讨了津巴布韦双性儿童的生活经历。本文揭示了雌雄同体儿童所面临的无数重叠挑战，这些挑战因缺乏法律承认以及文化和宗教言论的影响而变得更加复杂，这些言论威胁着雌雄同体儿童的性健康和生殖健康权利，包括其身体自主和完整的权利，以及其受教育的权利。
