By now many of you are familiar with the green scalpel meme that accompanies our announcements of doctors placed on our genital mutilator’s directory. We are up to 21 listings of doctors and clinics that are known mutilators and we hope to gather hundreds of these offenders on the wall of shame at neonatalcutting.org and here at AVFM. By naming these people – not all doctors, but all mutilators – we hope to dissuade potential parents of newborns to, as we say, “think twice” before cutting by giving actual risk and complication information, as well as unknown information about the doctor or practice. Many of our listings come up near the top in the results of a Google search. Here’s where you can help.

Please share these listings through Facebook and Twitter, and also ReTweet any Tweet that we have listed in the posting. Some of you have written to our subjects making them aware of our scrutiny and that the view of infant genital cutting is changing, as well as the law against this human rights violation. We give contact information when possible and up to date confirmation that the subject is an infant genital mutilator. When Tweeting, please use the hashtag #childmutilators.

Feel free to send me the names of any known mutilators and their info, or write up a listing yourself and I’ll have a look.
