User:Sugarcube73/Genital Integrity

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Genital integrity is the condition of having natural, whole, and complete male, female, or intersex genital organs — unaltered by any surgical operation.[1]

Genital integrity is advocated by many children's rights organizations and by the Council of Europe.

Saving Our Sons and Stop Infant Circumcision Society sponsor an annual Genital Integrity Awareness Week,[2] during which a demonstration in support of genital integrity occurs in Washington, D. C.[3]

Doctors Opposing Circumcision advocates genital integrity to obtain the highest level of health and well-being.[4]
