Latest revision as of 14:58, 10 December 2022

Internet parental circumcision information started to become available in the late 1990s. Intactivists realized that accurate unbiased information about circumcision, the foreskin, and other matters could be presented directly to the public without being filtered through editorial bias, so they quickly moved to take advantage of this new channel of communication.

History

Geoffrey T. Falk, when still a graduate student (1996), used his technical knowledge to create the Circumcision Information and Resource Pages (CIRP), while Marilyn Fayre Milos, RN[a 1], created a website for the National Organization of Circumcision Information Resource Centers (NOCIRC). George C. Denniston, M.D.[a 2], M.P.H.[a 3], created a website for Doctors Opposing Circumcision (D.O.C.).

Intactivists, both in the United States and other nations, have since created additional websites, so there now is a profusion of readily available information regarding male circumcision.

Comprehensive Internet databases on the subject of circumcision are now also available.

Australia

Australasian Institute for Genital Autonomy

The Australasian Institute for Genital Autonomy (AIGA) was founded by the late Paul Mason to apply principles of human rights to the practice of child genital cutting in Australasia, so as to advance the Genital Autonomy in Australasia. The AIGA provides information for parents.

Circumcision Information Australia, created by Dr George L. Williams, M.B., a NSW paediatrician, and Shane Peterson, Ph.D.[a 4], maintains an extensive website with extensive information on every aspect of non-therapeutic child circumcision for parents in Australia and elsewhere.

Many other websites have linked to the important documents in the Library. The website is now in repose and has not been updated since 2013. So the most recent material is not available there. Falk has assigned control of the website to the Children's Health and Human Rights Partnership.

Those leaflets are available today in downloadable PDF files from which leaflets can be created by printing the two pages on opposite sides of one sheet of paper and folded into thirds to create six panels.

The text is also available in HTML files that may be viewed on the website.
