Please sign our petition

Refrain racism

Greetings, From US immigrant women who feel discriminated by racist terms.

I just signed the following petition addressed to: Anti male circumcision using the racist terms THE CLITORIS WOMAN and VULVA GIRL..

----------------
Refrain racism
We ask department of state global women issues,UNHCR,UNIFEM,AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL,CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT,AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL,ALL WOMEN RIGHTS MOVEMENT,PRESIDENT OBAMA, FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA,ALL THE REFUGEES AGENCY to ask the anti male circumcision campaign led by Mike Anderson of intact America to refrain from the racist terms VULVA GIRL AND THE CLITORIS woman and making it as a comic book it's not funny!!!
This is important because most of FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION SURVIVORS live with only half or less of their genitals. hundreds bleed to death every day, We are in America because this country was founded on human rights and respects all people and does not discriminate. But the use of VULVA GIRL AND THE CLITORIS WOMAN in a comic book(they think its funny well I don't!!) is RACISM against Refugees and immigrant girls,women.

Greetings everyone,
My name is LUCY MASHUA I am also the global ambassador for fighting against FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION and standing up for WOMEN RIGHTS.
as you all know the anti male circumcision in the US have new campaigns using female genitalia parts I wonder why they are not just comfortable using their own parts. Anyway since only the immigrant women and girls are directly affected by the atrocity of FGM in the US we find it a racist and a discriminating disrespecting and insensitive term!!!!We have been working on a petition against the racist,disrespecting term(THE CLITORIS WOMAN THE VULVA GIRL) the anti male circumcision are using for their campaign (mostly WHITE MALES)...and since only the female immigrants are affected by FGM it's racism and sexist and it is an insult to all Female genital mutilation survivors and victims. also when it comes to FGM the parts that are mutilated it's not only the clitoris. As a woman I feel so disrespected and as an immigrant discriminated upon,as a FGM survivor I feel stripped naked my dignity as a woman.have in mind all FGM survivors and victims have half or more of their Female genitals removed:(.
We are not against male circumcision campaign we are against the racists terms used in the campaign.
