"I voted in favour of the motion for a European Parliament resolution on combating female genital mutilation in the EU. Female genital mutilation (FGM) not only causes very serious and irreparable injuries to the physical and mental health of women, but it is also a violation of fundamental human rights. Due to the irreparable damage that it causes, FGM must be regarded by society as a very serious crime and must be vigorously combated.
It is estimated that in Europe some 500 000 women have been victims of this crime, which is why it is vital that the European Commission and the Member States work together to harmonise existing legislation in order to prevent and eliminate FGM in the European Union."@en1
