14: Dr Aileen Kennedy | Intersex children, human rights and the Law - a podcast by UNE Law School

Lisa Ward is joined by her colleague Aileen Kennedy to discuss her work on solutions to bias towards intersex children.

Aileen’s research is cutting edge and in the vanguard on state agendas. The ACT and Victorian have started the process, and other states are taking notice about consent and bodily integrity issues.

Aileen is one of the driving forces behind changes occurring across Australia in the application of law and medical procedures to Australian intersex children. She is on the Board of Intersex Human Rights Australia, an intersex advocacy group, and sits on the expert reference panel of the Human rights commission doing an inquiry into intersex human rights in a medical setting. Aileen is also working with the ACT and Victorian governments on introducing legislative change to stop medical intervention on intersex children.

It’s based on the latest law and developments, and her dynamic research in this space.

Tune in and listen to learn more about how law lecturer Aileen Kennedy is navigating and implementing solutions for Australians in this space. You can read more about Aileen's expertise on her staff profile page at https://www.une.edu.au/staff-profiles/law/akenned5
