Provide context up front

[edit]

This article is about a concept which is part of a branch of philosophy/economics (capabilities approach) described as "alternative". The typical reader is unlikely to be familiar with the capabilities approach itself, so the very first sentence in the introduction should be something like "Bodily integrity is a concept in the capabilities approach philosophical/economic framework." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.113.122.131 (talk) 15:39, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Opposition to this concept

[edit]

I think that this page should also include a section for opposition to this concept, as many people (such as pro-life activists) oppose this concept in an absolute sense. Many of them do support this concept in many cases, though--just not in all cases. Futurist110 (talk) 03:54, 21 July 2012 (UTCI)

No, pro-life people such as me believe in the bodily integrity of the child. So it should rather mention that the pro-choice stance disregard the bodily integrity of the unborn child. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.164.174.47 (talk) 22:42, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

While that may be true, it's not necessary to include this on the page. Pro-life activists don't oppose bodily integrity; they oppose its use in abortion rights debates. If we wanted to include every instance of opposition then I would have put a pro-torture section on as well. The pro-life Wikipedia articles can link to this page, but this entry was meant to define it - not explore the instances of every contentious argument. - Keb838

[edit]

Bodily integrity and bodily autonomy are distinct concepts. Both terms are used in the article, but they're treated as equivalents. (The latter encompasses the former.) OckRaz talk 09:12, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting copy edit help

[edit]

Hi,

In draft namespace I created a new article relating to one of well known feminist Category:Catchphrases namely Draft:My body my choice (Feminism) to be included in category Category:Feminist terminology. It is far from complete and needs proactive copy edit support to include related remaining aspects.

Suggestions about suitable references are welcome on Draft talk:My body my choice (Feminism)

Thanks in advance. Warm regards

Which article in the declaration of human rights protects bodily integrity?

[edit]

In the human rights section, there is a claim that the universal declaration of human rights protects bodily integrity. However, I have read through the entire document and I can't find a word about it, and there's also no mention on the human rights page. Can anyone confirm/deny this claim, and if it's true, add a reference? JochemvanHees (talk) 16:09, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

RFD notice

Factual Correction

[edit]

“Though bodily integrity is (according to the capabilities approach) afforded to every human being, women are more often affected in violations of gender-based violence.” is factually wrong.

“Approximately 37% to 39% of males worldwide are circumcised” per Wikipedia circumcision page which greatly outnumbers the female victim sexual assault rate even when including the brutal but small percentage of women and girls worldwide maimed by FGM. Wikipedia FGM page has 200 million worldwide FGM women and girls out of a 7.8 worldwide population per Wikipedia world population page with 49.9 percent female. 200 million out of 3.9 billion is less than 5 percent and rates of FGM are drastically falling per Wikipedia FGM page.

Infants cannot consent to slicing off the end of the penis foreskin and enduring the weeks of painful urination that follows.

Likewise, gender based violence stats exclude the most common sexual assault on males. Sexual assault is legally defined as unwanted contact between someone genitals and another person - NY state legal statutes. That includes a boy or man being kicked , punched or hit in the genitals uninvited. 90% of males experience it to he point it is degrading comedy to the viewers.

Women and girls are not the most affected by violated body autonomy. Women and girls are definitely not most affected by sexual violence.

Statements as “women and girls most affected” are factually false that they wrongly equate the seriousness of the effect with being most affected falsely leading the reader that men and boys are less affected on a percentage basis.

For references see the Wikipedia pages which have reliable NGO sources for the statistics.
