In the fall of 2011, Viloria founded the Intersex Campaign for Equality, to work for equality and [[human rights ]] for intersex Americans. Their first action, in December 2011, was contacting former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to request inclusion of intersex people in [[human rights ]] protocols and protections. In early 2012, they received a response from the U.S. Department of State in early 2012 affirming the importance of including the intersex community in [[human rights ]] work.<ref>{{REFnews |title=OII receives reply from US Department of State to OII Chairperson Hida Viloria's letter asking for intersex inclusion in LGBTI – not LGBT-only – global [[human rights ]] efforts

In 2013, Viloria served as one of three intersex co-organizers of the Third International Intersex Forum in November 2013, in Malta, which led to the creation of the Malta declaration, the most widely agreed upon statement of [[human rights]]' demands by the international intersex advocacy community.<ref>{{REFweb
