Pierette Venne, Member of Parliament (MP) for Saint-Hubert.

She wrote the following passage in an article about violence against women in
a B.C. newspaper (it may have appeared in other Canadian newspapers as well):

"The mutilation of female genitalia is a form of violence against young girls
and violates their basic human right to physical integrity.  Will we have to
wait until a similar practice is introduced that would mutilate male genitals
for the government to make up its mind to act?"

Let's enlighten this woman!

Pierette Venne, MP
House of Commons
