Help Stop Female Genital Mutilation Petition

It is mothers who take their children lovingly by the hand to their Mutilation. Like mothers all over the world her child's pain and suffering is hers.  Out of love and not knowing otherwise she wants the best for her daughter, she wants respect, a good match, and status in their society. Refusing the Female Genital Mutilation of her daughter will make her an outcast, a dishonor, destine to a life of poverty and without a chance of marriage. She made her chose, she will lead her daughter and watch helplessly while she go through this horrific right of passage.

We may not understand the reasoning of such ritual but lets not judge but educate those mothers and their children who one day will be also mothers and not questioning why? do as was done...  Together lets appeal to our President, our congress to enact and enforce effective legislation to bring down this global act of misogynistic terrorism. This is only through education that this consented atrocity will be abolish.
We also request that the State Department bring this matter before the United Nations, making it a priority that the international community can no longer ignore.
We the people of the free world knowing that this ritual is conducted even in the United States, can no longer stand by and look the other way.
By signing this petition today, you'll be raising awareness and taking a stand to stop the painful practice of female genital cutting. Your name will be added to a list that will demonstrate to key decision makers and change agents just how strong the opposition against FGM (Female Genital Mutilation) is.
