It is estimated that over 200 million women worldwide, including at least 600,000 in Europe, have undergone female genital mutilation. It is a means to assert domination and social control over women and girls. The practice has severe life-long physical and psychological consequences.

As a commitment in the EU strategy on the rights of the child, the Commission adopted a\u00a0<\/span><strong>Recommendation on developing and strengthening integrated child protection systems in the best interests of the child<\/strong><span><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>on 23 April 2024. Promoting a culture of zero-tolerance for violence against children requires to close the gap between international standards, political commitments, and action. The Recommendation calls on Member States to both strengthen their child protection systems to address all forms of violence against children, including FGM, and to ensure that their external action contributes to the fight of all forms of violence against children, including FGM.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span>The European Commission is firmly dedicated to eradicating all forms of gender-based violence, including FGM, both within the EU and beyond its borders as outlined in the\u00a0<\/span><strong>EU Action Plan on Human Rights and Democracy 2020-2024<\/strong><span><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>, the<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><strong>EU Gender Equality Strategy 2020-2025\u00a0, the\u202f\u00a0EU Gender Action Plan III<\/strong><span>\u00a0, extended until 2027. Aligned with these policies and our dedication to eradicating FGM both in Europe and worldwide, we collaborate and provide support to survivors, impacted families and communities, as well as experts and policymakers.
