The 2001 circumcision law makes non-therapeutic child [[circumcision]] somewhat safer because a licensed medical doctor must be in attendance. It requires the use of anaesthesia so the extreme [[pain]] and [[trauma]] of child circumcision is reduced. However it stops short of protecting the [[human rights]] of the child. The child will still suffer harm due to the [[amputation]] of the multi-functional [[foreskin]].
The [https://www.socialstyrelsen.se/en/ National Board of Health and Welfare] complained in 2005 that the law is not working.<ref>{{REFnews
