Closed petition Make virginity testing illegal
Closed on
Pass legislation to criminalise these pseudo-scientific procedures. Any clinician who carries one out to be struck off.
These procedures are unscientific, humiliating, barbaric and do not work. They are a violation of human rights. The UK cannot claim to be a developed country and still allow this medieval nonsense to continue
