lpv:translated text	". Female genital mutilation is an irreparable abuse that intentionally alters or causes injury to female genitals for non-medical reasons, with irreversible consequences that affect 140 million women and girls alive today. I profoundly believe that this harmful practice can under no circumstances be justified on grounds of respect for cultural traditions of various kinds or for initiation ceremonies. As well as being in itself a violation of human rights, 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. I am of the opinion that it is essential to support members of civil society, in particular women’s organisations, working within their communities to end violence against women, including female genital mutilation. Last but not least, it is important that the EU Member States also take firm action to combat this illegal practice."@en1
