An interesting piece published six months ago on the Researching Reform website, even if the ignorance displayed in some of the ensuing comments may make you despair.

We shall be devoting a considerable proportion of our time and resources in the foreseeable future on the bid – with other organizations – to end non-therapeutic genital mutilation of male minors in the UK. We believe it is a highly ‘winnable’ issue, in part because it’s clearly in breach of both UK and EU law.

When – not if – that battle has been won, it will provide a huge boost to ending the many other assaults on the human rights of men and boys, as outlined in our 80-page-long 2015 general election manifesto.

Everyone with an interest in the human rights of men and boys should be deeply concerned about non-therapeutic MGM. We strongly recommend a recent article by William Collins on the matter – here.
