Der Gesetzesentwurf "B5", soll diese Woche drüber abgestimmt werden
- Children are among the most vulnerable citizens in society, as they depend on the care and protection of adults.
- Therefore, society has a special obligation to protect the fundamental rights of children until they reach an age and maturity where they can take on this responsibility themselves.
- Legislation must therefore equate all children under the age of 18 regardless of gender, cultural background or parents' religious beliefs, so that they have the same legal requirements for bodily integrity and autonomy.
Punishable by imprisonment for up to six years
This is what the comments on the B5 just made - a proposal for a parliamentary resolution on the introduction of 18-year-old age for the circumcision of healthy children (citizens proposal) , which deals with introducing a gender-neutral minimum age of 18 for circumcision, which is not necessary for health reasons.If the proposal is adopted, the Health Act, the Criminal Code and the Parental Responsibility Act must be amended and the proposers will ensure that children residing in Denmark are not exposed to the intervention in Denmark or abroad unless there is a relevant medical indication. And that "Anyone who, in the course of a body attack with or without the consent of an unauthorized person, cuts off or otherwise removes external genitalia, is punishable by imprisonment for up to 6 years".

In addition, the proposal ensures compliance with the EU Charter

The introduction of an 18-year-old age for circumcision sets
the best interests of children and their rights. Legislation should sup-
be undertaken with a thorough and flexible information effort that
anchors the understanding of children's individual rights in the population-
scheme.
