Glen Callender is a Vancouver-based writer and comedian and the founder of the Canadian Foreskin Awareness Project, an advocacy group dedicated to “foreskin education, appreciation and stimulation.” Callender is advocating for foreskin awareness for several reasons.

Male Circumcision and HIV: ETHNICITIES Vol. 10: Male genital mutilation: Beyond the tolerable?
The journal, Ethnicities, has recently published an article that takes on the double standard often applied to genital cutting. The author discusses male genital mutilation/circumcision in a way that gets almost no attention in the media. The media discussion almost always centers on the old debates of cost/benefit and never on the more important debate of the ethics of decision-shifting, coercion, and the unacknowledged harms of withholding choice in medical practice.

The Peoples Voice: Circumcision
A poem about the harm of male infant circumcision. It is a decidison that troubles many parents, but it is a decision that need not be made.

Examiner: Premature foreskin retraction - don't let it happen to your baby
Because a pediatrician did not know how to care for an intact penis, his wrong instructions harmed the baby. Only clean what is seen, and never retract. The foreskin is there for a reason - to protect the still developing glans, and to keep it clean and healthy. It is supposed to be attached to the glans during infancy and childhood.
