Eliana Rubashkyn (born 25 June 1988) is a Colombian–born, former stateless, New Zealander, known internationally for being the first birth-assigned male intersex person legally recognised as a woman with a U.N.
resolution under the international refugee statute.
Rubashkyn is a pharmacist, chemist and polyglot; Eliana currently works as a harm reduction scientist and develops campaigns of support addressed to LGBTI asylum seekers, refugees and intersex persons in New Zealand.Rubashkyn's gender was recognised under the United Nations' 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees.
Rubashkyn's case attracted international media and legal attention after her mistreatment following her detention at Hong Kong International Airport because of the lack of congruence between her gender identity and her passport photo, resulting in several years of statelessness in Hong Kong, and inhumane reclusion into several refuge centers across Yuen Long.
