lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, every eleven seconds a girl somewhere in the world has her genitals mutilated. The barbaric procedure involves the removal of parts of the outer genitals and the removal of the clitoris. The inside labia are often completely removed or partially severed using razors, shards of glass or scissors – always unsterilised and under unhygienic conditions. In 15% of cases, the large labia are also scratched out and the remaining skin is then sewn up, leaving just a tiny opening, or infibulation. This barbaric practice has nothing to do with culture, tradition or religion; it is torture and it is a crime. Over 3 million girls are affected by what is a huge and gross torture. Having worked as a midwife, it is horrendous to try and deliver a baby to these women without doing damage to their bladders. If that baby is a girl, the look of horror for these women is enhanced many, many millions of per cent. This is such an abuse of human rights, and I welcome the fact that we have an opportunity here today to throw some light on it again."@en1
