This day is also of particular importance for the LAG Boys* and Men* Work in Bavaria, since female genital mutilation in girls and women and boy circumcision represent a clear, intolerable violation of human rights and it is our responsibility to make everyone aware of this and fight against it. | This day is also of particular importance for the LAG Boys* and Men* Work in Bavaria, since female genital mutilation in girls and women and boy circumcision represent a clear, intolerable violation of [[human rights]] and it is our responsibility to make everyone aware of this and fight against it. | ||
Circumcision of male children without medical indication is to be condemned as physical injury. There are a large number of boys and men who suffer from the physical and psychological consequences of circumcision as a child.

Gender equality and child protection are visible here as very individual and multi-layered challenges in different continents and cultures. | Circumcision of male children without medical indication is to be condemned as physical injury.
