INFANT MALE CIRCUMCISION
IS NOT IN THE BEST INTERESTS
OF THE HEALTH & RIGHTS
OF THE CHILD.
Scope of the Problem...
Current national rates:
Australia 15%,
Canada 20%,
United States 60%.
In the U.S., over 1.25 million infants annually - more than 3,300 babies each day - one child every 26 seconds.
The surgery wastes more than $250 million health care dollars annually(4) as well as untold personnel hours.
Globally, 20% of male children will be subjected to some form of non-medically indicated genital mutilation.
