"I welcome the adoption of the resolution on the forthcoming session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women: elimination and prevention of all forms of violence against women and girls. The EU must play its part in ensuring that ambitious conclusions are agreed at this session. In 2010, the Commission committed itself to presenting – by the end of 2012 – a strategy to combat violence against women, domestic violence and female genital mutilation, to be followed up by an EU action plan. It is very disappointing that the Commission has yet to live up to this commitment. I urge it to do so without any further delay. An EU strategy should cover in particular the signing and ratification by the EU and the Member States of the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence, as well as the stepping up of efforts to end FGM worldwide, which affects 8 000 girls daily. Over 500 000 girls and women in Europe are living with the consequences of FGM."@en1
