|Text=In June 2019 the Finnish government established a government program with a gender neutral aim on [[genital autonomy]] for children:
* "The government will ensure sufficient resources for the work against [[genital mutilation]]." and* "Intersex children's right to self-determination will be strengthened and cosmetic, non-medical surgeries on young childrenschildren' genital s genitals will no longer be performed."
The government program was re-established in December and the same wording remained. In November, the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health and the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare published a new action plan named "Non-violent Childhood" with reference to the government program.
For the [[WWDOGA|Worldwide Day of Genital Autonomy]] my message will be:
The best way to curbe genital cutting for a particular group of children is to curbe curb it for all children, regardless of their sex, cultural background or other attributes. A family where both parents have had self-determination over their body and their genitals, probably have the best possible pre-requisites to value and cherish the importance of leaving their own child with the same self-determination over [his] body.
Best regards from Finland for the [[WWDOGA|Worldwide Day of Genital Autonomy]].
