In 2009, CEDAW was the first UN treaty body to include intersex in their
Concluding Observations for Gemany (though not IGM) in their 43rd session. This
time, after our PSWG Report and Briefing, CEDAW already included specific
questions to Germany on intersex and IGM in their List of Issues (LOI), with
Germany facing tough questions on IGM during the 66th session.
