lpv:translated text	"It is estimated that around 140 million women alive today have suffered genital mutilation, and in Europe alone the figure reaches a substantial half a million individuals. It is therefore well understood that it is a widespread phenomenon, and not far removed from our daily lives. The girls, often young children, who undergo this distressing treatment, can suffer immediate and devastating physical consequences, and no less dangerous mental consequences, which manifest themselves over time. These violations cannot be justified in any way, nor can the grounds of respect for tradition or religious beliefs be used as justification: what is under discussion here is respect for the person and for the dignity of women and human beings. This resolution, which has been unanimously adopted by the European Parliament, must be a further stimulus to continue the fight to wipe out this terrible problem which, far from being extinct, is showing dangerous signs of picking up, even in Europe unfortunately."@en1
