	FGM is recognized internationally as a violation of the human rights of girls and women. http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs241/en/
	In 2008, the World Health Assembly passed resolution WHA61.16 on the elimination of FGM, emphasizing the need for concerted action in all sectors - health, education, finance, justice and women's affairs.
	In December 2012, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution on the elimination of female genital mutilation.
	In July 2016 the head of the United Nations Population Fund, Dr Babatunde Osotimehin, described female genital mutilation as "child abuse". http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-36805117
	When will genital mutilation of all children be considered "child abuse" ?
