'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' was founded in the [[United Kingdom]] in 1994 as ''NORM-UK'' by English physician Dr. [[John Warren]]. The original aim was to provide information about non-surgical male [[foreskin restoration]]. The organization quickly expanded its mission to provide information about all aspects of health related to the [[foreskin]], [[penis]], and human genitals. ''NORM-UK'' recently changed its name to '''15 Square''' (a reference to the area, in inches, of an adult foreskin).
15 Square is independent of any other organization and is regulated by the [https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/charity-commission Charity Commission for England and Wales]. It is registered with charity number 1072831 and with the stated objective "To advance the education of the public in all matters relating to [[circumcision]] and other forms of surgical alteration of the genitals including alternative treatments and offering information and advice on such matters."
Female circumcision, or [[FGM|female genital mutilation]], which is illegal to perform on women in the [[United Kingdom]], is also a concern of 15 Square.
