* "Intersex children's right to self-determination will be strengthened and cosmetic, non-medical surgeries on young children's genitals will no longer be performed."
The government program was re-established in December and the same wording remained. In November, the [https://stm.fi/en/frontpage Ministry of Social Affairs and Health] and the [https://thl.fi/en/main-page Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare] published a new action plan named "[[https://thl.fi/en/research-and-development/research-and-projects/non-violent-childhoods-action-plan Non-violent Childhood]]" with reference to the government program.
In chapter 14, the action plan has specific goals on all children's [[genital autonomy]] which conclude that non-medical genital cutting of children can be carried out only when the person[s] themselves can give to it, based on a full understanding of the procedure.
