Genital integrity is the condition of having natural, whole, and complete male, female, or intersex genital organs — unaltered by any surgical operation. [1]
Genital integrity is advocated by many children's rights organizations and by the Council of Europe.
Saving Our Sons and Stop Infant Circumcision Society sponsor an annual Genital Integrity Awareness Week, [2] during which a demonstration in support of genital integrity occurs in Washington, D. C. [3]
Doctors Opposing Circumcision advocates genital integrity to obtain the highest level of health and well-being. [4]
