Research note: Czechia DEEP_BUILT 2026-07-09. Morris 2016 PMC4772313: 0.14% (confirmed 3-0), one of the LOWEST rates in the global dataset. Czechia = one of the world's most secular nations (72% religiously unaffiliated, Pew 2017 — "highest share, by far, of any country surveyed" in the study) — same secular tier as Estonia. Modern Jewish population: core ~3,500, enlarged ~6,475, ancestry-based 10,000-14,000 (DellaPergola methodology, JPR). DISTINCTIVE (gathered via supplementary research, original claim did NOT survive adversarial pass): Theresienstadt (Terezín) — transit ghetto for the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia; 73,608-73,958 Jews deported there 1941-1945; 60,382 (~82%) further deported east; ~33,000 died AT the camp itself (malnutrition/disease); 88,000+ held there total; used as a STAGED 1944 propaganda tool to deceive a visiting Red Cross delegation about actual conditions. Legal status/harm cases = honest gaps (no statute found; not on ARC Law's list). HIV ~0.1% (2022) — CAVEAT: likely a rounded/capped upper-bound figure (one source cites a more precise 0.022% for 2015). UNREGULATED. NOT VMMC priority. Sources #1414-1421.
Research claims
Short, testable claims backed by evidence and categorised for clarity.
No structured research claims have been added for Czechia yet.
Legal status
UnregulatedThis research did not locate a Czech statute specifically addressing non-therapeutic male circumcision, and could not independently confirm the country's precise legal position with high confidence — an honest gap. This research did not independently verify Czechia's female genital mutilation legal status either. Female genital mutilation is a separate matter and must not be conflated with male circumcision.
