Circumcision Program

Initiated in July 2005 by the Sylhet Center, this program has now spread to several centers, branches and cells across the country. In Dhaka, Taleya Rehman, prominent activist and Executive Director of Democracy Watch inaugurated the program. Altogether, 10,504 deprived boys and adolescents have been circumcised under the program. 4,791 boys were circumcised and provided with recuperative care in the last 9 months of 2008. In addition to underpriviledged children, even adults who had been deprived of circumcision in their childhood due to economic reasons are taking advantage of this service.
