==Conclusion==
Non-therapeutic circumcision of boys has not received financial support from the government in the Netherlands since 2004.
The government has ratified treaties that require protection of the children's rights which are offended by non-therapeutic child circumcision, however boys are not protected while girls receive protection. This clearly is discrimination on the basis of gender and a general failure to support human rights treaty obligations.
Parents in the Netherlands who want to have a boy circumcised are free to do so, but must pay out-of-pocket for the service.
