The findings of that consultation were that this bill reflects a global movement towards zero tolerance of FGM and it better aligns New Zealand's legislation with international best practice as well. There was unanimous support for this bill because it will better protect their communities. They highlighted that legislation is incredibly important because it is a strong deterrent and has protected at-risk girls to date. Those consulted expressed a strong support for the proposed bill and the inclusion of the World Health Organization (WHO) definition, which is what this bill does. They also highlighted that FGM has actually been made illegal in many of the countries that they came from and so felt that their wider communities would accept legislative change here in New Zealand as well.
