“Voluntary medical male circumcision” “[[Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision]]” (VMMC) is the policy term for the world’s first mass surgical campaign, targeting Africans. Its goal is to create and maintain an 80% male [[circumcision]] rate throughout the African continent.

The '''VMMC Experience Project''' is an investigation into the West’s mass circumcision of Africans.
12 million men and boys have been circumcised in the campaign, largely on American taxpayer dollars through the President’s Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief ([[PEPFAR]]). Because many men refuse circumcision, "early infant male circumcision" (EIMC) was added to the VMMC agenda in 2016.
The VMMC Experience Project was established in 2014 to give a voice to the people affected by the West’s mass circumcision campaign in Africa. Their mission is to empower the most frequently overlooked contingent: Africans. The project director is [[Prince Hillary Maloba]] from Kenya. Their work is currently based in West Kenya and East Uganda.
