'''Advocates for Informed Choice''' (AIC) uses innovative strategies to advocate for the legal and [[human rights ]] of children born with [[intersex traits]].
AIC focuses on the legal questions surrounding children with intersex traits, particularly their civil and [[human rights]].
Children with intersex traits have unique legal needs. They may present questions about informed parental consent for treatment, minors’ participation in medical decision-making, reproductive rights, medical malpractice, and school harassmentand accommodation.
AIC has a number of flag programs such as:
* Inter/Act: the first and only intersex youth leadership and movement-building group
* The Resolve Apology Project: Resolve aims to open a line of communication between patients and their doctors. The conversation begins with intersex adults, youth, and parents of children with [[DSD ]] writing letters to their doctors and hospitals. The purpose of these letters is:
** To let doctors know how former patients and parents experienced treatment.
** To contribute to the healing process for intersex people, parents, and doctors.
** To recognize the struggles that medical providers face in the treatment process.
** To acknowledge and thank providers for positive experiences.
** To improve the future care of intersex children/ children with [[DSD]].
** The letters may also request an apology for harm one experienced while a patient as a result of medical treatment.
* Project Integrity: AIC’s impact litigation and medical education program, providing consultation, training, publishing in the medical, legal, and bioethics press, [providing legal information and referral to parents of children with intersex conditions. Project Integrity supports the [[MC vs Aaronson]] lawsuit.
