In a huge success for Bohra women in India, fighting Female Genital Mutilation(FGM), on 6th February, celebrated as zero tolerance day against FGM by the UN, the National Commission for Women in Delhi has officially supported 'Speak out on FGM's' viral petition, which has so far received over 86k signatures. Chairperson, Lalitha Kumaramangalam, while accepting the petition said "This is an infringement of human rights, we are against genital mutilation as a whole purely from a human rights perspective. Just because something is a social norm does not make it right. These are manifestations of different patriarchal norms. I think fgm has very little to do with religion and more to do with patriarchy." She also said “ We do not need to compare ourselves to anyone, even if fgm existed only in India and it will still be a horrible practice." Finally she said “ we will support speak out on FGM and help them end FGM. Now it is time to knock on the doors of politicians, political parties and parliamentarians. Our petition asks the Government , specifically the Ministers of Women and Child Development,Law and Health to support us in banning FGM in India has over 86,000 signatures. Lets us all work to reach the magical figure of 100000 and even surpass that. The video below portrays the story of 4 members of Speak Out on FGM. All our stories are the same. It time to END FGM in India. Please give us your signature. Thank you Masooma Ranalvi
