HRES 815 is a non-binding resolution expressing the U.S. House of Representatives' support for recognizing October 26, 2023, as "Intersex Awareness Day," which commemorates the 1996 demonstration by intersex individuals and promotes bodily autonomy. It encourages federal, state, local, and community organizations to observe the day through educational programs and to provide culturally competent care to intersex people. The resolution also urges healthcare providers and schools to connect intersex individuals and families to resources and support education about intersex diversity.
