"Today there are 140 million women and girls who have been the victims of genital mutilation, a barbaric practice with irreversible physical and psychological effects, and that is often fatal. This practice, which is justified in countless areas of the world – in particular in Africa – on religious grounds is nothing less than a clear violation of the rights of women and female children that must be combated. I therefore welcome the decision to bring this issue of female genital mutilation before the 67th session of the United Nations General Assembly, and I would urge it to adopt a general prohibition of this brutal and unjustifiable practice against women and female children."@en1
