To Mr. Louis Michel, European Commissioner for Development & Humanitarian Help;
To the Ministers for Cooperation and Development of the countries of the Union.
As either citizens or organisations, we want to express our opposition to Female Genital Mutilation. More than 3 million girls every year suffer this ignominy, and more than 150 million women live with the effects their entire life. The physical and psychological consequences of this violence are a grave invasion of their integrity and dignity.
We’d like you to make this cause a priority issue. We’d like you to invest more means to inform and educate so that we can achieve the eradication of this violence at every level, both national and European.
