Spain and male circumcision

[ICASM Network]

This topic is open for discussion on circumcision in Spain

[ICASM Network]

Here is a recently received email to which anyone can reply on this forum (the sender of the email is informed).

Dear members of The Bodyguards

My name is [RP], I am the mother of [FM], and I have attended some of your meetings with him.

At this moment, we want to contact some journalist, in order to try to introduce a public debate on the circumcision in Spain,

which for the moment is out of agendas.

At this point, it would be good for us to have data on the approximate number of circumcised men in Spain,
do you have any idea?
It also would be good an study that accredits the percentage of problematic circumcisions over the total number of circumcisions carried out in Europe,
or in any country where public health/private health is comparable with Spain.

Thanks for your attention

With my best wishes

The center of interest on male circumcision does not include information on the situation in Spain: there do not seem to be any organisations working on this issue in Spain. Is it possible that Spaniards create one? 

A minimum of visibility is needed to attract media attention and for other interested people to join and develop the topic. In France, it started with the launch of a simple blog run by one person in 2011. Once a dozen other people were attracted, a much more substantial website was set up 2 years later, in 2013. A real organisation was built around this core group of activists 1 year later, in 2014.

And there exists a centre of interest on Complications of circumcision

"try to introduce a public debate on the circumcision in Spain": if it can help, you can reuse the Appeal for debate addressed to the French government by the association Droit au Corps in 2019, here is the translation in Spanish:

The attached article was co-authored by Nieves Martin-Alguacil at the University of Madrid. The corresponding author (Schober) is in the US, but she may be able to connect interested Spaniards with Nieves Martin-Alguacil at the University of Madrid.

Tu peux essayé de prendre contact avec l'auteur de ce livre : La circoncision rituelle ? 

Il y a une partie sur l'Espagne.

Toujours le même livre avec un autre auteur sur l'inquisition

Un article pas récent sur un faux médecin (tu dois pouvoir retrouver des informations) montre qu'en Espagne on peut faire n'importe quoi.

D'après cette étude, le taux de circoncision en Espagne serait de 1,8% des hommes. Voila pourquoi le débat n'existe pas : c'est un non problème ?

Pas trouvé plus d'informations mais peut-être que comme en Belgique, on peut avoir accès aux chiffres de l'assurance maladie ?

[dallieresophie]

Aujourd'hui je suis tombée sur un taux de 6,6%

Attention le lien mène vers une étude de Brain Morris dont on sait qu'il est pro-circoncision. Il faut donc essayer de recouper ces informations
