New York, 27 February 2012
During the first week of the 56th session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), to be opened in New York on 27 February 2012, No Peace Without Justice (NPWJ) and several African partners of the Ban FGM Coalition will carry out direct advocacy and visibility initiatives, among which will be a High Level Parallel Event, in support of the fight against female genital mutilation (FGM) and the international campaign to promote the adoption of a United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) Resolution that universally and explicitly bans FGM. The meeting is held at Ministerial level and is co-chaired by Mariam Lamizana for CIAF and by Emma Bonino for NPWJ, and is opened by Michelle Bachelet, Executive Director of UN Women and closed by H.E. Chantal Compaoré, First Lady of Burkina Faso, Coordinator of the International Campaign to Ban FGM Worldwide.
Later reaffirmed in United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon’s Report “Ending Female Genital Mutilation,” released in January of this year, the critical need for a common and systematic approach to address FGM as a violation of human rights was initially recognized in the Decision of the Assembly of the African Union during its 17th session in Malabo, in July 2011. This historic Decision expressed the strong support of the African Union and its member States for the adoption of a Resolution to ban FGM worldwide at the sixty-sixth session of the United Nations General Assembly.
