Revision as of 11:56, 8 April 2022

Campaign logo

The Worldwide Day of Genital Autonomy (WWDOGA) is a campaign day for the genital autonomy of children which has been initiated by the German "Facharbeitskreis Beschneidungsbetroffener im MOGiS e.V.". Since 2013, it is celebrated on each 7th of May. This date has been chosen because on May 7th, 2012, the District Court of Cologne (Germany) has judged for the first time in Germany, that the circumcision of male children is an assault.

The aim of the WWDOGA is to propagate the right of bodily integrity and sexual self-determination for all children all over the world.

In 2019, the central German event for WWDOGA in Cologne did not take place for the first time on 7 May itself, but on the following Saturday, 11 May. The organizers were able to meet the wishes of many people who had little opportunity to take part in demonstrations during the week. The participation was correspondingly higher.

In 2020 & 2021, the German WWDOGA event in Cologne, which was to take place again on the Saturday following WWDOGA, was canceled due to the corona crisis.[1] For this reason, MOGiS e.V. posted video messages of the intended speakers online on its YouTube channel.[2]

IDOGA

In 2022, Ulf Dunkel suggested renaming the initialism WWDOGA to IDOGA, which stands for International Day of Genital Autonomy and can also be read as "I Do GA" (for "I do genital autonomy"). The newly suggested initialism or acronym might be grippier and easier to use.
