INTERSEX persons in the country have alleged they are being discriminated against in the ongoing Covid-19 vaccination programme.
Inquiries by NewZimbabwe.com revealed that the major challenge faced with the intersex community towards vaccination borders around identification documents.
A national identity document (ID), driver’s license or valid passport are required for one to access vaccines.
The Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission (ZHCR) stresses that national documentation is at the core of the enjoyment of fundamental human rights and freedoms.
ZHCR said while IDs may seem like an insignificant document, failure to acquire one leads to far reaching consequences and shuts doors to opportunities later in life.
