At MDC we have been highlighting the waste and suffering caused by non-therapeutic circumcisions ever since we were founded. Good to see this article in the Mail on Sunday (27/02/2022) reporting the growing concern in the medical community at the number of unnecessary circumcisions that are performed.
Teaching proper care of the intact penis, cleaning it using water from the base to the tip, minimising the use of soap (no complex bubble baths etc.) and only the boy himself should ever attempt to retract his foreskin. Those three simple measures could save a lot of problems.
Our figure of £6 million on the placard in the picture is from before 2012 when this protest was staged out side the British Medical Association’s meeting in Bournemouth. Thanks to the doctors involved and thanks to The Mail for drawing attention to the waste of resources and the harm caused by unnecessary circumcisions.
