}}</ref> No boys are mentioned here. To comments in the blog that indicate that UNICEF is arguing very one-sidedly here, UNICEF replies with a standard text module in which it says:
<blockquote>"Female genital mutilation / circumcision is a serious violation of human and children's rights. It can lead to lifelong complaints and complications. For many girls, the procedure is fatal. The abolition of this practice is the goal of the international community in the Agenda for Sustainable Development (SDG Goal No. 5). We are committed to this goal, including with this contribution. We know that the issue of male circumcision is controversial and emotional. UNICEF takes seriously the concerns raised about the right to physical integrity and self-determination."</blockquote>
German intactivist [[Ulf Dunkel]] responded to this on his blog and wrote a comprehensive reply that proves UNICEF double standards.<ref>{{REFweb
