Clitoraid is a non-profit project started by the Raelian movement to combat female genital mutilation.

The project was started in 2005^[1] or 2006.^[2] The Raelian movement sees sexual gratification as a positive thing and Clitoraid has sponsored clitoral reconstruction for African women and sought to build a hospital in Burkina Faso^[3][4] where they can also receive post-operative instruction in masturbation.^[5] Clitoraid has an Adopt a Clitoris sponsorship program,^[6] which it has promoted at the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas.^[1][7]

In 2010, on the encouragement of sexologist Betty Dodson, the San Francisco-based sex shop chain Good Vibrations pledged financial support to Clitoraid including asking customers to make donations; the company rescinded the offer after protests that the effort was misplaced, especially from Wanjiru Kamau-Rutenberg, a professor of politics at the University of San Francisco.^[2][8] In 2013, Clitoraid designated the week of 6–12 May as "International Clitoris Awareness Week".^[9]

The 2014 opening of the Kamkaso Hospital or The Pleasure Hospital at Bobo-Dioulasso was delayed by the Burkina Faso Ministry of Health.^[10] Clitoraid blamed the Catholic Church.^[11]

In 2015, in response to a dispute over the circumcision of a four-year-old boy in the US, Clitoraid issued a press release supporting the mother who did not want the circumcision. They also called on the United Nations to ban the practice: "Bodily harm is against the fundamental rights of all children, and we can't understand when a so-called civilized country such as the United States would allow its male babies to be so readily mutilated legally!"^[12]
