Co-ordinating Developments To Stop FGM
Much praise to you Hilary for launching this e-petition and purpose-specific website and, generally, for your initiative and huge investment of time and effort to increase awareness of female genital mutilation (FGM) in the UK, urging the Government to do everything possible to eradicate this practice.
I’m sure your articles and tireless tweets on the subject [@NoFGM_UK / #NoFGM] have brought this issue to the attention of many people who would not otherwise have been aware of FGM or troubled themselves with it.
Please if you possibly can sign this e-petition (for UK citizens), posted 25 June 2012 on the HM Government website:
STOP Female Genital Mutilation (FGM / ‘cutting’) in Britain
… and then please also ask everyone you know to sign the e-petition as well. The petition will be open for signing for one year. Thank you.
There should be absolutely no reason for this website to exist; but whilst the necessity to advance the ‘No FGM in UK‘ message remains, this post is offered as a way to record lobbying, and what is actually being done, to halt the risk of genital mutilation to at least two children in Britain, every hour, every day – horrifically, that’s well over 20,000 small girls in the UK p.a.. You are welcome to share in the Comments box (following the link below) any information about, or actions taken to prevent, FGM in the UK. Please tell others too that their contributions will be very welcome.

When God told Abraham to sign the covenant of the flesh, he circumcised all the male children and he was circumcised. The message was direct and in plain language. GENESIS 17: 1-27. The agreement was strategically initiated and the male child grew beholding daily his agreement with God at every call of nature throughout his married life.. The covenant of the flesh for a man is with ease to behold with no ill feelings or regrets without medication required afterwards in life. When God told Moses that the Children of Israel shall not circumcise their girls, the message was given in a spiritual language and bore two warnings….
