The 2001 circumcision law makes non-therapeutic child [[circumcision]] somewhat safer because a licensed medical doctor must be in attendance. It requires the use of anaesthesia so the extreme [[pain| pain ]] and [[trauma]] of child circumcision is reduced. However it stops short of protecting the [[human rights]] of the child. The child will still suffer harm due to the [[amputation]] of the multi-functional [[foreskin]].
