ceremonies, like the Brit Shalom, [and] to support those that do so."

Students
In September of 2002, San Francisco State University
became the first college campus to have a student
organization specifically focused on ending all forms
of genital mutilations. Since the formation of Students
for Genital Integrity
(http://www.studentsforgenitalintegrity.org), other students around the
country have expressed interest in
starting similar organizations. A moderated Yahoo e-group
for students only has been created as a means to help that
happen. There are currently chapters of Students for Genital Integrity
in Iowa and Florida, and two are forming in Washington DC and one in
Arizona.

Islam
Circumcision is not mentioned in the Qur'an, but more Muslim boys are
circumcised than any other single group. An Islamic site with
anti-circumcision information is http://www.quran.org/khatne.htm
(also http://www.quran.org/CIRCUMCISION.HTM),
part of the Virtual Mosque. Another, FreeMinds.Org,
has a
page against Islamic circumcision.
The QuranicPath
website includes some finely detailed argument.
The Revival follows "the Original
teachings of Qur'an".

Doctors
Doctors
Opposing Circumcision (DOC) have a website, which includes a video
about the structure and function of the prepuce. It is clear

terminology. DOC has members throughtout the US and in Canada and
Australia.

Nurses and Midwives
Nurses for the Rights of the Child is for nurses and midwives who
conscientiously object to circumcision. They have a website, or you can
email them.
Foreskin restoration
Some thousands of circumcised men worldwide are regaining some of the
function and much of the appearance of a foreskin by encouraging growth
through tension. They keep contact via:
Artificial foreskin
A company in Salisbury, England, Viafin-Atlas,
makes an "undergarment" called a "Senslip" out of latex and rayon that
acts as an artificial foreskin, even retracting like one for urination
(not intercourse). The idea is to restore the sensitivity of the glans. The need for
such a device is itself an indictment of circumcision. Their website
has a video
with a strong pro-intact message and some good graphics, but a rather
confused message about the innervation and role of the foreskin.
Law
Men who want to take legal action on account of botched, non-consensual
or unnecessary circumcision (and lawyers who want to help with such
action) should contact Attorneys
for the Rights of the Child (ARC).
Here is a link for information about lawsuits against doctors and
medical boards.

"Circumcision? Intact Facts" An important
short video. It doesn't show the whole circumcision procedure, but it
shows enough, the baby first screaming and then traumatized. It is
dramatically evident that the pain and trauma of circumcision cause a
