Activism to end infant circumcision based on human rights grounds, i.e. on the grounds that infants cannot consent to genital surgery that lacks any corrective or other immediate health benefit.
Due to some timely intactivism, the young woman was able to resist the doctor's suggestion that her healthy and happy newborn son be circumcised merely to mirror his father's circumcised penis.

the act of raising awareness that men should have the right to choose whether or not they keep their entire penis they were born with and that partial genital amputations should not be performed on babies.
Thanks to some well-timed intactivism, the expectant mother realized that we as a society should not be cutting erogenous body parts off of non-consenting members of our society.

The idea of being against circumcision and trying to outlaw it worldwide. Intactivism sees circumcision as a barbaric and unnecessary crime against both boys and girls.
I strongly support intactivism because circumcision is one of the world’s biggest problems that needs to end now.
