YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
This is a very disturbing topic, and sadly, one that very few people are even aware of. I hope that ALL BraveHeart Women around the world will take the time to learn more about this brutal procedure, the life long effects of which are suffered by so many girls and women around the world, and in the US.
"Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is an extremely dangerous, inhumane, and medically unnecessary procedure that affects nearly 170,000 girls and women in the United States, and 140 million around the world. FGM is currently illegal in this country under federal law, but Congress must do more . . . . "
more information.

Here is a site that will explain more about FGM and tell you what you can do to help.
There is an email set up for you to contact your representatives at the site. All you need to do is enter your zip code, and it will take you straight to an email site to your representative in Congress. It is very easy, and will only take moments of your time.
Please take a moment to helo those who, in many nations, may not be able to speak for themselves. They need your help.

To the wrongs that need resistance, To the right that needs assistance, To the future in the distance, Give yourselves.
