"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, since 2010, when the European Commission promised to adopt a strategy on violence against women, including female genital mutilation, no coherent, structured attempt has been made to combat this crime. According to estimates, 500 000 women and girls living in Europe have undergone them, and over 180 000 are at risk every year. The consequences range from haemorrhagic shock to neurogenic shock, and mutilations are carried out mainly on girls from 4 to 14 years of age, although in Eritrea, Mali and Yemen, they are often practised on neonates. The mutilations are often done in unhygienic conditions, resulting in abscesses, cysts, infections and sometimes even death. UNICEF considers female genital mutilation a violation of women’s rights. I believe that it should, instead, be considered a crime against humanity. I therefore call on the European Union to act with all possible means against the countries that accept or tolerate it."@en1
