Petition Action

Make male genital mutilation at birth illegal including religious reasons

Additional Information

No medical benefits have been proven by the procedure of circumcision.

Female circumcision is considered a barbaric and illegal action, yet in other cultures is accepted in the same way we accept male genital mutilation.
A child has the right to choice. By allowing religions to continue to circumcise their children, you are branding them and taking away their choice to choose their own faith.

Male genital mutilation takes away a functional part of the male genitals, which leads to desensitisation and less pleasure for the man and woman in a sexual act.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

Please see: Stop Infant circumcision / male genital mutilation. A childs human rights are denied everytime surgery is performed, that they cannot consent too.
