lpv:translated text	"Madam President, thank you for this discussion. In the 21st century, millions of young women are still subjected to genital mutilation every year. They risk death and, if they survive their injury, they face the prospect of disability and very risky childbirths. The EU will continue to campaign for the rights and empowerment of women in all contexts through fighting gender-based violence and supporting relevant initiatives against harmful traditional practices, in particular, female genital mutilation (FGM). By the end of July, the Foreign Affairs Council is expected to adopt the EU Action Plan for Human Rights and Democracy and the EU Strategic Framework on Human Rights and Democracy, where FGM is one of the priorities. The Commission has been able to finance a number of important civil society-driven projects in the poorest countries. About EUR 55 million have been allocated to projects on maternal health and projects addressing youth and their special health problems and needs. I believe my colleagues, Cathy Ashton and Viviane Reding, will both work with honourable Members in raising awareness about female genital mutilation."@en1
