Why is male genital cutting still overlooked? Dr Antony Lempert exposes the double standard between how male & female cutting are treated — and why non‑consensual circumcision is a safeguarding failure hiding in plain sight. Watch here

Consent is not optional. It's 2025. Circumcision is permanent and comes with lifelong consequences. There is no urgent medical reason to do it in infancy. Why not wait until the person most affected can decide for themselves? That is the fairest and most respectful choice.

The BMA's stance on infant circumcision raises serious ethical concerns. Why are non-consensual procedures still allowed on healthy infants? It’s time for accountability and change. Read more:

We don't allow non-consensual surgery on baby girls. Why do we still allow it for boys? Circumcision removes healthy, functional tissue without medical need or consent. Boys deserve the same rights to their whole bodies as anyone else. It’s time to end this double standard.
