In addition to the experiences of gender-based and domestic violence they share with other groups of the population, many intersex individuals experience, intersex genital mutilation (IGM), a harmful medical practice that is performed on them as result of their variation of sex characteristics, and which is a gender-based violence specific to intersex people.
