Quakers hold to a way of life rather than a dogma or creed. ‘Quakers’ started as a nickname – they call themselves the Religious Society of Friends or Friends Church – but they are now generally known as Quakers or Friends. The Quaker movement began in England in the 1650s, when its founder, George Fox, gathered together those who sought to live and worship in accordance with the living spirit of Christ. Worldwide, Quakers now number around 340.000, with the majority in Africa and the Americas. As part of its worldwide religious witness, this small group of people maintains two offices, in Geneva and New York . They work with the UN system on a wide range of issues, linking international policy goals with grassroots perspectives.

120. GENITAL MUTILATION & THE UNITED NATIONS by Anastasios Zavales The world community is increasingly educated on crimes against humanity, in particular, about individuals practicing genital mutilation, commonly termed circumcision.

Human rights standards and practices register, as expressed through
