Kira Antinuk, RN, BScN Historically, there have been few feminists who have advocated for the genital integrity rights of all children, yet a growing and diverse movement of people is challenging the frameworks in which we consider genital cutting in our society. Nurse Kira Antinuk gives a feminist critique and her perspective on circumcision as well as her 13-year long involvement in the movement to promote equal genital autonomy for all children. Recorded on March 9th as presentation 2 (of 2) at the "Feminist & Medical Critiques of Circumcision."
