wikify genital integrity
{{Citation
|Text=The [[foreskin]] is the most sexually sensitive part of the [[penis]]. The removal, especially in infancy and childhood, always represents a serious violation of [[genital integrity]], which can lead to persistent physical, sexual or psychological complications and states of suffering. In Germany alone, about 400 young boys are admitted to hospitals every year, even after circumcisions that have not been carried out for medical reasons, with sometimes severe complications. With our conference, we would like to provide information on this and open up a platform for a factually sound and respectful dialogue with all interested parties on this controversial topic.

If this amendment to the Basic Law is not to remain symbolic, but to be effective, the comprehensive permission for foreskin amputations in parental rights must be revoked.
Politics and legislation must fully support the sentence: [[Genital integrity ]] is a human right of all children.
The possibility of legal action of those affected – also against their own parents as well as against the circumcisers – must be restored immediately. It cannot be the case that those affected cannot claim compensation even in the event of the most serious consequences.
