"Joint Resolutionagainst female genital mutilation - vote on 14/06/2012 I am particularly happy that the European Parliament has adopted so unanimously, with no votes against, the Joint Resolution against female genital mutilation. It is important that the EP stood united and strongly called for a end to FGM. Each year some three millions girls around the world are at risk from FGM, some 180.000 of them in Europe! These figures are scaring for such a barbaric tradition that causes irreparable physical and psychological damages to the girls, without any medical justification. Even if we must respect tradition and cultures, they should never be an excuse for committing violence against women and violating the universally recognised human rights. We need to give a strong message to the United Nations, Member States and the European Commission to do whatever they can to penalise people carrying out FGM and to stop this horrible violence against women."@en1
