"Female genital mutilation is an act of violence against women which intentionally causes damage to the female genitals for non-medical reasons, and is thus a violation of their fundamental rights, in particular their right to personal safety and integrity, and physical and mental health, along with their sexual and reproductive health. This report calls upon the United Nations to adopt a resolution at its 67th session prohibiting female genital mutilation worldwide, aligning the actions of its member states and providing recommendations and guidelines for developing and strengthening regional and international legal instruments and national legislation in this area. Moreover, it urges civil society, through the allocation of appropriate financial resources, to support targeted, innovative programmes and to disseminate best practices that address the needs and priorities of young women in vulnerable situations, including those subjected to female genital mutilation. I voted for this report because I consider female genital mutilation a severe violation of human rights that can under no circumstances be justified by respect for different cultural traditions or initiation rites."@en1
