Shockingly, FGM is still being carried out. Read this young girl’s account of what it means to her, and you will be appalled.
Just for once this is a serious post as I want to raise awareness of something that is going on in dozens of countries, including the United States and many places in Europe. It’s a theme I chose for my latest book and the more I researched it the more horrified I became. FGM is a topic only ever discussed behind closed doors, many people have never even heard of it.
Then this popped up on my timeline on Facebook. It’s written by Serena Cairns and personalizes the fears and feelings of a young girl. It tore at my heart and I think it will tear at yours too. How long must we wait for men and women to be regarded as humans, different, but equal? Women are not possessions neither should they be second class citizens.
With reference to your latest novel, Lucinda, I thought you might like this very short piece.

I would normally post the outgoing badge here, but as it turns out, it’s in the running again. Therefore, I’ll let you visit John’s blog to have a look at it.

A very powerful public apology to a person I respect and admire very much.
Dear Annette,
I want you to know, that I am sincerely sorry for not treating you better. For not seeing you as worthy of honor and respect. For not being more supportive in those times when you needed me the most. I want to take this time to assure you that I will make demonstrating my responsibility to you, my top priority.
For all those times, I allowed you to accept the shame in the face of verbal, physical, mental, sexual and emotional abuse, I apologize. You NEVER caused people to behave this way, even though they told you it was all your fault. You didn’t “ask for it” and I am sorry I didn’t know how to protect you from the attacks or the resulting pain.
For all those times, I allowed you to own the guilt for requiring others to honor their contracts with you, I apologize. You…
