On the recordSeptember 28, 2023
I strongly support this amendment. Look, this is a horrifying practice of literally just mutilating women around the world. An estimated 200 million women and girls have undergone this form of female genital mutilation, including, by the way, ones who are 15 or younger. Mr. Chair, I don't have to tell you about the extreme psychological and physical harm that this does to these young girls and women. I thank my colleague, Representative Jackson Lee, for condemning this practice wherever--wherever--it is occurring. Anywhere in the world we should object to minors, young girls, young women, having genital mutilation performed for whatever reason. Mr. Chairman, I urge my colleagues to strongly support this amendment.
