An '''intactivist''' is a person who engages in [[intactivism]] (also known as the [[genital autonomy movement]]); a person who participates in an activist group or as an individual, to promote or defend the right of children to grow to adulthood being genitally [[intact]]. Intactivists are [[human rights]] activists who oppose the non-consensual genital modification of male, female, or [[intersex]] individuals.. Intactivists perceive genital mutilation -— of girls, boys or [[intersex]] children- — as a contradiction to the fundamental human right to [[physical integrity]] and [[genital autonomy]], and as such, as a violation of their [[human rights]].
