The International Coalition for Genital Integrity (ICGI) was an alliance of organizations dedicated to protecting the normal anatomy of males, females and the intersexed, and supporter of the Genital Integrity Resolution. ICGI was formed to coalesce the many activist organizations, each with a specific focus, into one, common voice. Added to them are organizations and companies who also agree that every human has a right to a whole and intact body. Organizational members included healthcare professionals, psychologists, researchers, attorneys, journalists, ethicists, academicians, and citizen activists dedicated to ending unnecessary genital cutting.[1]

ICGI was a member of Child Rights Information Network (CRIN). ICGI was funded by donations from volunteers and private sources. They did not charge for membership.[1]

Dan Bollinger was the director.

Goals

  • Provide a unified voice to the various, specifically missioned genital integrity groups throughout the world.

  • Create and disseminate educational information and teaching/learning opportunities for raising consciousness about the forced genital mutilations of minors or others through collective press releases, symposia, letter writing campaigns, tv, radio, Internet programs etc.
  • Pursue vigorously, through their legal representatives and the courts, human rights violations involving genital mutilation.[1]
