Help spread the word about this video. Our demands A clear worldwide consent is required for effective measure against FGM: 'Female Genital Mutilation is a crime! We do not tolerate it anywhere!' The United Nations should pass such a resolution in the name of all of their member states – and ensure that the public will be informed about it. So that nobody can claim any longer that he/she did not know that FGM is a crime! Laws without loopholes – strict enforcement Female Genital Mutilation is actually either directly or indirectly prohibited in many countries. The problem is that the laws often contain loopholes. So far orderly investigations on a wider scale have only taken place in France. 1. FGM must be classified as a crime and it needs to be defined precisely – so that there are no more doubts on what is considered as a genital mutilation and what not 2. FGM must be prosecuted consequently – regardless of the offender's citizenship regardless of the victim's citizenship regardless of the place where the crime took place. Anybody in the world must be held responsible under all circumstances for the genital mutilation of a girl. 3. Every suspect of a genital mutilation must lead to obligatory (!) criminal investigations 4. A gynaecological examination of a possible victim and her sisters must become a compulsory part of investigations – regardless of the consent of their parents

Female Genital Mutilation concerns us all. It is a crime that is being
committed in many countries.With my worldwide campaign I want to raise awareness of this cruel practice.
I want to contribute all I can to make it possible to finally eradicate FGM
worldwide.

Most people are aware of what is involved. The promotion, which misses the pitch, is superfluous. It is the most heinous sexual crime imaginable. It brings shame on mankind.

I agree with what you say Devaki - I didn't like the image or the "amazing unique perfect" words but whatever and however attention is brought to this horrific crime I join you in saying Thank You and know that this atrocious human rights crime must be stopped and the ones who are responsible must be held accountable.
but i agree with u Alison
Why did you use a white woman for this ad when most of the women affected by this crime are not white? "You're amazing. You're unique. You're perfect." This needs to be directly stated to the amazing, unique, perfect young women who are threatened with the life-long and life threatening and intergenerational injury of female genital mutilation, before it is too late. That said, thank you for tackling the issue at all.
