Perspectives on conducting “sex-normalising” intersex surgeries conducted in infancy
Open AccessLuke Muschialli, Connor Luke Allen et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024
Children with intersex variations continue to be subject to elective, irreversible, “sex-normalising” surgical interventions, despite multiple human rights and legislative bodies calling for their prohibition.

The Consequences of Female Genital Mutilation on Psycho-Social Well-Being
Open AccessSarah O’neill, Christina PallittoARTICLEQualitative Health Research2021
The health consequences of female genital mutilation (FGM) have been described previously; however, evidence of the social consequences is more intangible. To date, few systematic reviews have addressed the impact of the practice on psycho-social well-being, and there is limited understanding of what these consequences might consist. To complement knowledge on the known health consequences, this article systematically reviewed qualitative evidenc…
