The Children’s Health & Human Rights Partnership was pleased to collaborate with the International NGO Council on Genital Autonomy on the research and preparation of a Supplementary Country Report for the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) Report.
The Supplementary Report provided the UNCRC and the State of Canada with conclusions drawn from research specific to Canada.
In outlining the practice of non-therapeutic child genital cutting in Canada through a human rights framework, the Council recommended that Canada should transparently and fairly reconcile its protection of female children against non-therapeutic genital surgery to male and intersex children.
