International Day of Zero Tolerance to Female Genital Mutilation

Honourable senators, today, February 6, marks the United Nations International Day of Zero Tolerance to Female Genital Mutilation. Female genital mutilation is a practice that historically has victimized roughly 125 million women and girls. It is a procedure that involves the partial or complete removal of a female's external genitalia. As Canadians, we acknowledge that female genital mutilation is a form of child abuse. As a country we have taken steps to speak out against this practice. Unfortunately, in spite of our efforts, over 30 million girls continue to be at risk, as female genital mutilation is still practised today.
