"Madam President, the scourge of female genital mutilation is one of the crudest expressions of gender inequality.
Men own women in some cultures and they maintain that position on three premises: the use of force, their dominant position in society, and superstitions and myths.
Prevention of genital mutilation therefore requires combating the arguments used by men to justify this form of violence, through education. These efforts should focus on the victims.
Women throughout the world should learn that genital mutilation is unacceptable, for basic self-respect, and men should understand that this aberration underscores their insecurities and fear of failure. We must therefore act, Commissioner, in a firmer and more emphatic manner against this phenomenon, to eradicate it through a combination of EU law and continuing to help with education and awareness."@en1
