Introduction:
Those who promote genital
mutilation of infant males in the United States and young
girls in central Africa also propagate the perception
that those who have suffered because of their own genital
mutilations are happy with their altered genitals. Slowly
men in the United States are finding their voices, as are
an increasing number of women of African origin, and they
are beginning to speak out against this assault on their
bodily integrity and human rights. They are not happy as
a result of their genital mutilations. You are invited to
read what they have written.
Intactivists from
all walks of life!
As awareness of
this issue has increased, men and women from across the
United States and Canada have gathered together to speak
out about this issue.
