Re: Female child abuse
Are you in any way active in stamping out this horrendous practice?How would you go about identifying the girls at risk and what steps could be taken to prevent the mutilation?
I can see that prosecutions could be brought against the parents, once the horror has been inflicted and it comes to light. But that is too late for those children.
The practice is despicable and I can't imagine what those poor girls go through.
I can see you feel very strongly about stamping it out, so whatever you are doing to help those girls, if anything, can only be commended.

Even if by driving it underground it saves only one child, maybe 0,000005 % of the total per year in France and GB, for that child it reptresents 100% protection from harm.

Re: Female child abuse
The UN is less than useless because it is long on words but VERY short on action. Especially when something that (usually) the USA don't like at which point they invoke their veto.The UN was put together to deal with the menace presented by the USSR against the West and in that it ensured that the war that communism waged against the West was conducted in third party countries it was a success. Today the war that is being faced is of a different nature with a different enemy, and in that war all the UN has become is mostly a market where votes are traded for favours, or where Security Council members (mostly) the USA use their veto to prevent a great many resolutions either being watered down or abandoned.
Even when resolutions do see the light of day often means nothing. Take "Israel". Over 200 UN resolutions simply ignored.
So that's why I believe that the UN should be abandoned and in its place something that addresses todays problems and a place where rogue states have no place at the table.

We have got our history somewhat mixed again Dieter haven't we??? The United Nations was established, not to control the USSR, since they too have a permanent seat at the Security Council and the right of veto. The United Nations was established to ensure that no one country could in future do what Nazi Germany did between 1933 - 1945.
I wonder why your historical pronouncements are so selectively amiss???

And why on earth do you keep on bringing up Israel at every opportunity. You do seem to have a problem with Jews.

Re: Female child abuse
There are a number of bodies associated with the UN who do, or who attempt to do a good job but all to varying degrees shackled by the General Assembly and / or the security council.Jews? Not particularly on the basis of their beliefs, and when it comes to ethnicity they are now far too interbred with non-jews for there to be a true jew ethnicity.
What I DO have a dislike for is “Israel”.
A “nation state” built on stolen land achieved by terrorism and past blackmail. A “nation state” that practices apartheid rule over the legitimate people of the land, a”nation state” that only by the military power and financial support from the US manages to survive.
“Israel” is an anachronism that should never have come into existence,.
It was forced on the people of the region, and it was created in direct contradiction to assurances made to the Arab people by the British government via T.E Lawrence as the effective British ambassador in order to get the Arab people “on-song” in the war against the Axis powers. It was “legitimised” because of terrorism committed against the legitimate owners of the land and and the US unilateral recognition.
It wasn't just the IRA that US based groups surreptitiously armed, often (most;ly) with the government at least turning a blind eye towards.
