Clitoraid

Clitoraid is a non-profit project started by the Raëlian movement to combat female genital mutilation.

[2] The Raëlian movement sees sexual gratification as a positive thing and Clitoraid has sponsored clitoral reconstruction for African women and sought to build a hospital in Burkina Faso[3][4] where they can also receive post-operative instruction in masturbation.

[5] Clitoraid has an Adopt a Clitoris sponsorship program,[6] which it has promoted at the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas.

[1][7] In 2010, on the encouragement of sexologist Betty Dodson, the San Francisco-based sex shop chain Good Vibrations pledged financial support to Clitoraid including asking customers to make donations; the company rescinded the offer after protests that the effort was misplaced, especially from Wanjiru Kamau-Rutenberg, a professor of politics at the University of San Francisco.

They also called on the United Nations to ban the practice: "Bodily harm is against the fundamental rights of all children, and we can't understand when a so-called civilized country such as the United States would allow its male babies to be so readily mutilated legally!
