lpv:translated text	"− I voted in favour of this European Parliament resolution because female genital mutilation causes very serious and irreparable injuries in the short and long term to the physical and mental health and rights of the women and girls who undergo it, constituting a grave assault on their person and integrity, and in some cases can even be fatal. Any form of female genital mutilation is a harmful traditional practice that cannot be considered part of a religion, but is an act of violence against women and girls which constitutes a violation of their fundamental rights, particularly the right to personal security and integrity and physical and mental health, and of their sexual and reproductive health, while also constituting child abuse in the case of girls who are minors. Under no circumstances can such violence be justified on grounds of respect for cultural traditions of various kinds or for initiation ceremonies. It is an expression of unequal power relations and a form of violence against women, alongside other serious forms of gender-based violence. It is therefore necessary to embed the fight against female genital mutilation in a general and coherent approach to combating gender-based violence and violence against women."@en1
