    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to say a word about my dedication to the anti-FGM campaign, as proposed by Sessional Paper No.3 of 2019. Statistics that have been shared by the Leader of the Majority and other speakers speak for themselves. About 94 per cent of Somali women have gone through the knife. It is a serious matter. We need to ask ourselves who the victims are in this case. It is the women. Who propagates this victimization? It is the men. If the women or the mother of the family delivers, takes the baby or girls to quack surgeons with the full blessing of the father of the house, then there is a serious need for civic education and sensitization of not only girls, but also of men. We are the ones propagating those horrifying acts on young women. I fully support what the Chair of the Departmental Committee and his team have done. They have been much focused. They have dedicated their time and have come up with a very good policy which needs to be fully supported. The disappointing part is – if I got the Chair correctly – 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."
