The political parties VVD and SP are advocating for a mandatory reporting requirement for education and healthcare personnel suspecting cases of female genital mutilation (FGM). They assert that without such requirements, occurrences remain unreported and perpetrators go unpunished. Recent investigations reveal a significant lack of reported cases and no legal actions in the last decade despite ongoing consultations. Calls for improved legal measures to protect women’s rights are intensifying, highlighting a need for government action prior to upcoming legislative discussions in 2025.
