lpv:translated text	"Madam President, let me tell you about my personal experience in this regard. In the context of decentralised cooperation, I had the opportunity to work with associations in Africa and came face to face with the reality of female genital mutilation, about which Ms De Keyser has just spoken. Our resolution stresses the importance of relying on local authorities and NGOs. Taking into account the realities on the ground is essential in the fight against these practices. For example, in any programme to combat female genital mutilation, it must be borne in mind that, for the women who practise it, it is a professional activity. It is sometimes their only source of income, and I know from experience that many of these women are more than willing to abandon the practice if they are offered reintegration into the labour market. I particularly wanted to share this testimony with you, as it is my personal experience. I would also like to stress the exemplary value of the delegations we send to third countries, which must ensure equal representation, as this is the best way of advancing the cause of gender equality."@en1
