The Darbon Institute is pleased to share the recordings of our contribution to the 18th Congress of the European Federation of Sexology in Lisbon, Portugal.

A big thank you to our members and donors, whose generosity made it possible to record our contribution and expand our reach beyond congress attendees to many more online viewers. 

Our Chair Jonathan Meddings presented on world-leading regulatory reform to protect children from genital cutting.

Meddings also presented on our world-first online training on male genital cutting for professionals as part of a symposium The Darbon Institute organised with UK-based 15 Square. Also at the symposium, Deputy CEO of 15 Square Jason Metters presented on their project collecting stories of men's lived experience of circumcision harms, and Dr Leif Thompson spoke about the organisation's online support service he facilitates. 

The European Federation of Sexology is a regional body of the World Association for Sexual Health, and our engagement with EFS this year follows our symposium at the 27th Congress of the World Association for Sexual Health in Brisbane last year.
