    "content": "IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROHIBITION OF FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION ACT, 2011 THAT, noting that Article 25 of the Constitution recognizes freedom from torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment as a fundamental right that may not be limited; also aware that Article 28 provides that every person has inherent dignity and the right to have that dignity respected and protected; further aware that the Prohibition of Female Genital Mutilation Act, 2011 was aimed at prohibiting the practice of female genital mutilation to, among others, safeguard against violation of a person’s mental or physical integrity; concerned that the Act has not been fully operationalized; the Senate calls on the National Executive to take immediate measures to fully implement the Prohibition of Female Genital Mutilation Act, 2011, especially the creation and funding of the Anti-Female Genital Mutilation Board to lead and co-ordinate efforts against rights abuses particularly of children."
