Shane Peterson
Shane Peterson, Ph.D., is a Perth-based intactivist in Australia.
Peterson was gravely injured when he was circumcised as a child. He had surgery to repair the damage when he was 18, which required several skin grafts. He later successfully sued and was awarded damages of AU$360,000 in 1999.[1]
Peterson and George L. Williams organized Circumcision Information Australia to provide information about circumcision in Australia and elsewhere by Internet.
