Polehanki said. \u201cI was compelled to introduce this resolution upon hearing that a doctor at a clinic in my Senate district was still performing this practice, and I will continue to work until we bring this unbelievable misogyny to an end.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The concurrent resolutions, introduced on the United Nations International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation, seek to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Create and enforce stricter criminal laws;<\/li><li>Devote adequate resources to investigations; and,<\/li><li>Engage in a robust public health awareness campaign.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn this day and age, the dangerous and malicious practice of female genital mutilation continues to plague women and girls in our state and worldwide as a means of control through violence,\u201d Rep.
