FGM petition

Posts: 5,001 Forumite
Hoping for maximum exposure, I have already posted this in the "Arms", but this board seems like a very suitable place to find supporters so it's here too. If I'm not allowed to post twice, could a mod please amalgamate the two threads.
Please sign the petition to tell schools to teach risks of female genital mutilation before the summer.
http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/educationgovuk-tell-schools-to-teach-risks-of-female-genital-mutilation-before-the-summer-endfgm
This petition was started by Fahma Mohamed, a school student from Bristol, in the hope that girls who would otherwise be at risk of FGM this summer can be protected.
Signing takes less than a minute and you could help prevent this barbaric practice being performed on another victim.
There is extra information about the current campaign here: http://www.theguardian.com/end-fgm
Thank you to all who sign.

Cannot get to the petition via the O.P link so used the Guardian one instead.Signed.Life is like a bath, the longer you are in it the more wrinkly you become.0

This should be the direct link to change.org.
Currently 148,000 signatures. (There were 34,000 when I signed the other day.)They call me Dr Worm... I'm interested in things; I'm not a real doctor but I am a real worm.

Signed
Glad this is barbaric practice is getting more exposure so action can be taken.0 -
Children don't need to know about such things. I will not sign. Anyone who does sign is misguided by the right on brigade IMO.0

each to their own I say, the more that it is brought out into the open the better.Would you really approve if it was done to a daughter of yours??Treat other's how you like to be treated.
