"Madam President, this resolution which, I hope, we will unanimously vote in favour of tomorrow because it is so self-evident, forms part of a United Nations-wide strategy of an international call for the prohibition of genital mutilation. It is very important that, through our resolution, we are able to support this international strategy. Several years ago, a number of women, including Chantal Compaoré, who is the First Lady of Burkina Faso, undertook to make this call at international level. As has been said, other European countries agreed to the ban a long time ago. We must therefore be able to move forward on this matter, and our resolution may contribute to this at the UN General Assembly. Above all, we have to realise that, although the ban is an extremely important step politically as a signal, this obviously does not mean that we need not work to the full extent with the women and groups of women who employ these practices. This is not a practice employed by men but, unfortunately, by women. We must be able to support programmes through prevention and guidance. If there is a general ban, taken up by the United Nations, there will be a monitoring and support strategy, as there is in other matters, in the case of anti-personnel landmines and others. It is very important if we are to eradicate this scourge for all women, everywhere, in the long term."@en1
