Voice Up to empower the 'Forgotten People' of the society



The debate to integrate intersex people in mainstream society has long been suppressed by the wider society's perceptions about them. It was about time that someone addressed the long ignored taboo topic; our society has chosen to shy away from; which needs society's undivided attention and could only be solved via the power of dialogue. 

One such community; the "Voice Up" campaigns for an envisioned world where the intersex are ensured equality & embraced as full members of society at home, at work & in every community. The organization plans to kick start things with their launch event that would focus on protecting and expanding the rights of most marginalized communities of the country, most notably advocating for equality, anti-discrimination and hate crimes legislation. The event would most certainly be happening by the mid of November. President of the "Voice Up" campaign, Fajar Ajmal, says she is hoping that people show up to manifest their support for this event.
