I am very proud to be part of the very first cross-party multi-members' bill. This is an historic night for us. This is historically significant for us not just as parliamentarians but as women. What we have in common might be not our minds or our ideologies but our bodies—the female body, which we are setting out to protect from powers who would seek to mutilate it in the name of religious traditional culture. We parliamentarians who were involved in this process do not speak as women with no understanding of culture or tradition. We do not speak just from the perspective of New Zealanders but from what is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO).
