lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, female genital mutilation (FGM) is a dangerous and degrading practice. It violates women’s human rights, their right to sexual and reproductive health and their dignity. Many of the women who have suffered FGM end up being scarred both emotionally and physically. In Ireland, we passed legislation recently, just in April, outlawing FGM. This legislation also makes it illegal to aid or abet the procurement of FGM, even outside of Ireland, so nobody can be taken outside of that country. The campaign to enact legislation in Ireland was very much spearheaded by a young Somali woman who led a group of young women called ‘The United Youth of Ireland’, which organised fashion shows and awareness raising programmes throughout Ireland. In addition, the ‘End FGM European Campaign’, which is led by Amnesty in Ireland, has called for data collection, the training of health workers – which is really important, particularly in maternity hospitals – educational activities, training of police forces and training of the judiciary. I hope that the transnational projects that have been referred to may be able to fund some of these projects into the future. The Commissioner mentioned the directive relating to the victims of crime. I would just like to ask him whether that directive will actually contain a specific reference to the victims of FGM, because I believe that is very important. Finally, I very much welcome the fact, Commissioner, that you have stated that the EEAS will be raising this in external countries as well, as I believe that this is a very welcome development."@en1
