"Madam President, female genital mutilation is a vile expression of unequal power relationships between genders; a form of violence against women and of violating their human rights that cannot be tolerated for cultural, religious or any other reasons. It is therefore crucial to incorporate the fight against female genital mutilation into a general and coherent approach to combating gender-based violence and, specifically, that against women, as well as into the struggle for universal respect for human rights. By allocating adequate funds, the European Union, Member States and partners can coordinate on financing innovative programmes and disseminating best practices that meet the needs of young women in vulnerable situations, providing them with easy access to these programmes and services. We also need to support civil society organisations and the awareness raising, mobilisation and training programmes that they carry out in at-risk communities, in Europe and on other continents.
I therefore call on the Commission and the Member States to follow the recommendations of this European Parliament resolution that they incorporate women’s rights and the emancipation of women of all ages throughout European external policy, in line with the 2012 gender action plan. It is crucial to involve national, regional and local authorities, as well as civil society in third countries."@en1
