Historic Nordic Agreement Opposes Circumcision

"This resolution tells the world that questioning circumcision has growing international support and brings needed attention to a practice that causes unrecognized physical, sexual, and psychological harm." - Ronald Goldman, Ph.D., executive director of the Circumcision Resource Center in Boston

(BOSTON) - Yesterday at a meeting in Oslo, Norway, Nordic ombudsmen for children representing six countries (Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Iceland, and Greenland) and Nordic pediatrician and pediatric surgeon organizations agreed on a resolution urging their national governments to work to prevent non-therapeutic circumcision of boys.
