CRPD Timeline Germany 2018 – ca.
2020:
• Above July 2018 NGO
Report provides solid evidence of ongoing IGM practices in Germany.
• In September 2018 during its
20th Session, the Committee heard NGOs in a private meeting. As requested
by the Coutry rapporteurs, our Statement focused of the
intersectionality of intersex and disability:

• The Committee then drafted the List of Issues Prior to Reporting
(LOIPR) with questions for Germany, which were published early in
October 2018 and include tough questions on intersex and IGM
under CRPD art. 17 (CRPD/C/DEU/QPR/2-3,
para 16):
Protecting the integrity of the person (art. 17)
16. Please inform the Committee about:
(a) Measures to repeal legislation still authorizing the sterilization of persons without their consent, but with the consent of a third party;
(b) Initiatives to implement its recommendations relating to intersex children (CRPD/C/DEU/CO/1, para 38 (d)).
• The State party will now have to answer these questions in writing in its
State report.
• Thereafter, NGOs will have another possibility to submit NGO reports.
• Finally the actual State review will take place in Geneva, hopefully followed
by
yet another severe reprimand for IGM practices for Germany.
