The '''Brussels Collaboration on Bodily Integrity''' is a collection of ninety-one mostly academic individuals of various nationalities who seek to advance the bodily integrity of children. The group desccribes describes itself:
<blockquote>
We are physicians, ethicists, nurse-midwives, public health professionals, legal scholars, political scientists, anthropologists, psychologists, sociologists, philosophers, and feminists from Africa, Asia, Australasia, Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas with interdisciplinary expertise in child genital cutting practices across a wide range of cultural contexts. Although we do not necessarily share a single policy perspective with respect to such practices, nor a uniform moral assessment of every feature of them, we are united in a concern about widespread inaccuracies, inconsistencies, double standards, and Western cultural bias in the prevailing discourses on genital cutting of children.<ref>{{REFjournal
