In my view, we must declare FGM a national disaster so that everybody, including religious leaders and civil societies, help to demystify this issue. I do not agree with what is in the Motion concerning the use of target groups, for example, chiefs, for sensitization.

Coming to the effects, we are told that 97.5 per cent of those FGM victims are Somalis. I agree with that research but also, as a leader, this affects me badly. You can imagine 97.5 per cent of Somali women undergo FGM. It is a shame in this 21st Century. Again, I would really want to hear from the Chair.

I also underwent Cesarean The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
