"Violence against women has reached dramatic and inconceivable rates over the last decade. There are no cultural or religious justifications for such inhuman and irreparable abuses, committed deliberately, and their authors must be identified and punished accordingly. I call on the United Nations to address appropriately the issue of female genital mutilation at the sixty-seventh session of the UN General Assembly. I also call on the European forums, national authorities and the civil society to take steps in order to prevent the repercussions of such abuses by increasing the level of information, awareness and education and, where prevention comes too late, ensure the access of affected women to health care, psychological counselling and, last but not least, justice. The consequences of these serious violations of fundamental rights are irreversible and the measures aimed at combating them are most of the time insufficient. Therefore, we must find more solutions to prevent their perpetration."@en1
