Through the efforts of human rights organizations, the rates of infant penile genital cutting have decreased in the United States from approximately 80 percent in the 1980s to approximately 50 percent today. However, there is still much to be done to combat the cultural conditioning that permeates families and the medical field. Approximately 3,000 babies are still cut every day in the U.S. One baby protected today translates into generations of future intact children.
