    Journal Article

    In 2001, as part of my non-profit work I led a team that went to the United Nations in Geneva and for the first time, put the issue of male circumcision as a human rights violation in the United Nations record. For a decade, I felt that no other single event in my life has so strongly affected me as this mutilation of my body that occurred in the first days of my life. ...in 1994, I did do a particularly powerful form of breathwork in a workshop during which I accessed body memories of the event. Based on my experiences with my non-profit, while awareness is growing that children should be left intact so they can make their own decision upon reaching adulthood, changes are coming more slowly than I expected.
