However, circumcision is neither a medical procedure nor a cultural tradition; it is a crime and a violation of human and child rights according to all international conventions.<br \/>\nIn this context, Tadwein for Gender Studies is launching the campaign \u201cSummer without Scars\u201d to raise awareness of the dangers of circumcision and work toward ending the practice. The campaign includes a number of activities.<br \/>\nFirst, we are organizing a series of community dialogue sessions in collaboration with our local partners or \u201ccommunity champions\u201d\u2014individuals we\u2019ve trained and worked with on previous projects\u2014to lead these discussions. We are also training new voices, helping them expand their skills, knowledge base, and capacity to design and implement projects that engage different segments of society.<br \/>\nSecond, we are holding several mobile health caravans to ensure that rural and underserved areas have access to healthcare, while also providing an opportunity for medical experts to speak about the dangers of circumcision.<br \/>\nFinally, we are developing new ways of talking about circumcision that we hope will help protect a new generation of girls from this crime and allow them to enjoy a safe summer free from harm.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Egypt, the summer holidays (July, August, September) are a period during which the rates of female circumcision increase significantly.
