"Female genital mutilation is a practice that must be condemned by the Member States. It constitutes a violation of women's fundamental rights, particularly the right to personal integrity, and of sexual and reproductive rights.
However, there are aspects of the Muscardini report that I do not fully support such as the formulations regarding questioning the credibility of parents who request asylum on the grounds that they have refused to consent to their child undergoing female genital mutilation. I see no reason to throw particular suspicion on people who request asylum on these specific grounds.
Another formulation in the report which I do not support is the one proposing regular medical examinations on women and girls who are granted asylum because of the threat of female genital mutilation in their home country. I consider the practice to be discriminatory against these women and girls. If a person is granted with asylum in a Member State she should have the same rights and obligations as other citizens in the country."@en1
