WHO INVITED A PRO-FGM FUAMBAI SIA AHMADU TO AN ANTI-FGM MEETING AT THE WHITE HOUSE 10/2/14? SHE INCITED SEXUAL CRIMES &CHILD ABUSE,MAPUTO PROTOCOL BLEACHED.
AN ENEMY TO ONE OF US IS AN ENEMY TO ALL.WHAT HURTS ONE OF US,HURTS US ALL,A HARM ON ONE OF US IS A THREAT TO ALL OF THE HUMANITY BECAUSE ONE IS FAR TOO MANY.BY LUCY S,MASHUA,SHARP OCT 6TH 2014.
Dear supporters and people truly in the fight against FGM I would love to publicly inform you that I know first hand president Obama is against FGM please read the letter he personally wrote to me in 2007 before he was even the president,I know former secretary of state and the office of Ambassador Verveer Global women issues since 2009 I personally took care of my expenses all my trips to DC for all the meetings, My Rep Eddie Bernice Johnson has been very supportive in the fight against FGM, I walked bare footed in DC from one office to another asking members of congress and the senate to support a bill that will protect the over 280,000 US girls at risk. I requested the U.S. Department of State through the office of Ambassador Verveer Global Women Issues to observe INTERNATIONAL ZERO TOLERANCE DAY AGAINST FGM I never stopped asking and yes through my efforts it happened for the first time in the US in 2012. All documented below and my communication with the appropriate offices. The offices that i attest were very supportive and I still believe in them and I don't believe they would ever invite a PRO FGM ACTIVIST IN ANY OF THEIR MEETINGS!
So now I am receiving threats as to why I am questioning who could have invited a very well known PRO-FGM AND GAVE HER THE FLOOR TO INCITE CHILD ABUSE,BREAK THE INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS LAW (MAPUTO PROTOCOL) IN THE WHITE HOUSE? A MEETING THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO DISCUSS WAYS OF PROTECTING OVER 280,000 US GIRLS AT RISK!! WHO IS ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF SURVIVORS AND THOSE AT RISK IN THE US? FUAMBAI IS A SELF CONFESSED CHILD ABUSER SHE TOOK HER 6 YEARS OLD SISTER FROM THE US TO BE MUTILATED! WHO IS FUNDING HER?AND WHO IS FUNDING THE ONES INVITED HER? it could be one of the following may be a/an group,individual,friend,news paper/media,politician,a sister,a brother,a pastor,an Imam,a movement,lobbyist,businessman/woman,committee.
NOW AM RECEIVING THREATS AND PEOPLE ASSOCIATED WITH ME FOR QUESTIONING IMPUNITY? IT IS SIMPLE WHO INVITED A PROUD PRO FGM/MUTILATOR ACTIVIST TO AN ANTI-FGM MEETING OCTOBER THE 2ND IN THE WHITE HOUSE? CLEARLY THEY HAVE NO GOOD INTENTIONS THEY SNEAKED A KNOWN CRIMINAL WHO HAVE COMMITTED AND STILL INCITES CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF OVER 280,000 US GIRLS AT RISK.
WELL HELP ME SHOUT AND LETS SPREAD THIS LIKE FIRE AS WE HAVE DONE BEFORE OUR LOYALTY REMAINS WITH THE VICTIMS(DEAD BECAUSE OF FGM),SURVIVORS AND TRUE ACTIVISTS TO THE CAUSE. I AM SORRY IF YOU HAVE RECEIVED THREATENING EMAILS AND CALLS BECAUSE YOU SIMPLY KNOW ME.AM SURE THE GOVERNMENT WILL PROTECT US AND DEAL WITH THE CRIMINALS ACCORDING TO THE LAW I BELIEVE IN AMERICA AND AMERICANS.AM GOING TO CALL The White House,my Governor Rick Perry, my Senator Ted Cruz my Rep and my friend Eddie Bernice Johnson ,and report all possible threats to the authorities. Never ever be afraid to stand up against any form of impunity!
AN ENEMY TO ONE OF US IS AN ENEMY TO ALL.WHAT HURTS ONE OF US,HURTS US ALL,A HARM ON ONE OF US IS A THREAT TO ALL OF THE HUMANITY BECAUSE ONE IS FAR TOO MANY.BY LUCY S,MASHUA,SHARP OCT 6TH 2014.

UK never cease to amuse me!:)Immigrants 'should sign FGM declaration before entering UK'
Campaigners called for immigrants to be required to sign a declaration promising not to subject their daughters to genital mutilation before being allowed into Britain.
Leading figures in the fight against FGM called for a special pledge to be brought in to ensure everybody is clear that the practice is against the law.
London MEP Marina Yannakoudakis said she will raise the issue with the government and called for more research to identify other countries that have introduced declarations.
The idea of an FGM declaration was raised at a meeting of prominent London campaigners, organised by Ms Yannakoudakis to give their views on various anti-FGM initiatives.
She said: “As people choose to move to Britain or elsewhere in Europe, it seems relevant to remind them of the social standards that apply here.
“That should include an acceptance that certain practices are not only unacceptable but illegal. This proposal will form part of a package of recommendations which I plan to send to the UK Government and EU Commission.”
GREAT IDEA ,ACTUALLY AWESOME.I SUPPORT IT 100%

When will UN,WHO,AMNEST INTERNATIONAL,UNFPA,UNICEF,INTERNATIONAL/NATIONAL POLICY MAKERS IN WESTERN COUNTRIES,INTL MEDIA and other sleeping giants give the correct statistics on FGM survivors and victims? This is annoying their fake statistics have never changed since two decades ago. remain 130 million and yet.....By Amb Lucy Mashua
It was over 20 years ago since WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION gave out the statistics of over 130 million FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION survivors in the world!. 2 million every year in Africa alone and a total of 3 million in the world, To this date organisations and media that should know better continue blindly or ignorantly publish the outdated figure to this day CAUSING MORE PEOPLE TO IGNORE THIS ATROCITY OF FEMALE GENITAL GENOCIDE AND DEATHS! Shame on you insensitive clicks!!.
The truth is and kindly do the MATH if globally every year 3 million are subjected to FGM,8000 every day one girl every 11 seconds what is the total number? ooh don't forget those who bleed to death,those who die giving birth, those who die slowly due to complications (FGM side effects), Those who are killed running away from FGM, thousands every year who are forced to sex trafficking running from FGM. I SAY YOU DON'T CARE A SINGLE BIT ABOUT FGM OR WHO IT IS AFFECTING BECAUSE THERE IS NO LARGE PROFIT TIED TO FGM LIKE IN WAR,EBOLA ,HIV/AIDS,VACCINES, A CLASSY ATROCITY THAT WOULD GIVE YOU MORE PUBLICITY(WITH FGM WE TALK ABOUT MUTILATED VAGINAS ,BLEEDING AND ROTTEN),TERRORISM AND PRECIOUS MINERALS OR OIL! Shame on you for prying on the weak deriving fame and funds though the suffering of the voiceless. Your work is to silence the unawares by spreading propaganda and filthy lies! Here is what my sister LINDA MAY KALLESTEIN wrote a couple of days ago on her blog,(she did a great documentary in our village called the CUT six years ago).
http://lindamaykallestein.com/2012/10/15/a-story-i-wish-i-no-longer-had-to-tell/
"When I started working on the documentary “The Cut” , the World Health Organization estimated that about 120 million girls and women currently alive were mutilated. Had had their genitals sliced off. And that 2 million new girls joined their ranks every year.
That was in 2006. 6 years have since passed. Do the math with me:
6 years times 2 million new victims equals 12 million additional girls and women.
This means there has to be over 132 million girls and women who suffer from the aftermath of female genital mutilation. Well, maybe not quite that many. Some of the newer cut ones never made it. They died during or short time after the “procedure”. And I am guessing some of the original 120 million have also died during these years. A few of old age, any type of illness or accidents. However: most of those who have died have done so from late complications of their mutilation. Severe infections that just got out of hand. Childbirth from a too tight vagina and poor maternal healthcare combined.
So let’s round it off to an even 130 million currently living victims.
In 5 years time you can add another 10 million. Minus those who die, of course.
I wish I never had to tell this story again, but as long as the explosive growth of 2 new million girls are added to the population of mutilated females I will continue to tell the story. It will continue to break my heart every time. Make me feel as helpless as I feel I am.
Which of course is nothing, compared to the pain and suffering 130 million girls and women experience on a daily basis. Nothing compared to the terror 6000 thousand girls are faced with today. Who probably will not get much sleep tonight, just hoping that they will not bleed to death. Or even just hoping not to pee. Imagine the sting of urine in an open meat sore, where their genitals used to be?"
Wake up sleeping,selfish ignorant giants time to update the correct statistics ,apologise, or else we will hold you accomplices to this atrocity and blame the death of thousands of girls and women on you!. I KNOW YOU WILL NEVER INVITE ME ON YOUR PANELS OR YOUR FIRST CLASS CONFERENCES AND I DON'T CARE, MY LOYALTY REMAINS TO MY FELLOW SURVIVORS AND VICTIMS.

SWEDISH CULTURE MINISTER APOLOGIZES ABOUT THE RACIST FGM CAKE I HAVE THE LETTER ADDRESSED TO ME FROM HER DESK:)
On May 15th My UK sister Helen Marshal and I Lucy Mashua one month exactly after (FGM RACIST CAKE) the public humiliation to FGM survivors and Activists who work night and day to see the end of FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION and total insensitive to the victims who have died as a resutlt of it. We send by post a letter to the Swedish culture minister demanding an apology for her perticipation in the hurtful scenario April 15th
This morning I received this apology letter in my desk from her desk and I am content with the apology and ready to focus on my fight against FGM which is more important, Swedish minister of culture Lena Adelsohn it takes a bigger person to say "AM SORRY" , Apologies accepted.
Dear Ms Lucy. S. Mashua and Ms Helen Marshall,
Thank you for your letter to the Minister for Culture regarding the events at the Museum of Modern Art on the 15th of April. It has been delegated upon me to answer.
The Minister for Culture sincerely understands your concern in this matter, therefore it is important for her to explain her view on this issue.
On the 15th of August of April the Minister for Culture was invited to the Museum of Modern Art in Stockholm where the World Art Day took place and the Swedish Artists’ National Organization celebrated its 75th anniversary. The theme for the event was freedom of expression, the struggle against censorship and art´s freedom to challenge and provoke.
Amongst other artists Makode Linde was invited to create a work of art in the form of a cake. As the opening speaker, the Minister for Culture was asked to cut a piece of Makode Linde’s creation.
The actual purpose of World Art Day was to discuss and highlight the role of art in society. The Swedish national cultural policy assumes that culture shall be an independent force based on the freedom of expression. Art must therefore be allowed room to provoke and pose uncomfortable questions. As the Minister for Culture emphasised in her speech on World Art Day, it is therefore imperative that we defend freedom of expression and freedom of art – even when it causes offence.
The Minister for Culture is the first to agree that Makode Linde’s piece is highly provocative since it deliberately reflects a racist stereotype and a deliberately grotesque caricature of genital mutilation. But the actual intent of the piece – and Makode Linde’s artistry – is to challenge the traditional image of racism, abuse and oppression through provocation. While the symbolism in the piece is despicable, it is unfortunate and highly regrettable that the presentation has been interpreted as an expression of racism. The artistic intent was the exact opposite.
As Minister for Culture it is Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth’s responsibility to safeguard the conditions for and independence of art and culture. At the same time, it is also her job to uphold the democratic values that counter racism, gender inequality and intolerance.
The Minister for Culture chose to open World Art Day to turn the spotlight on art and freedom of expression. The Swedish Artist’s National Organization chose in turn to highlight Makode Linde to bring attention to his anti-racist artistry.
Through the ceremony, however, the Minister for Culture became personally involved in Makode Lindes highly provocative form of expression. It is perfectly obvious that her role as minister differs from that of the artist. Provocation cannot or should not be an expression for those who have the trust and responsibility of Government representative. She therefore feels it is her responsibility to clarify that she is sincerely sorry if anyone has misinterpreted her participation.
The 18th of April 2012, a written apology was published in a nationwide newspaper as well as on the Swedish Government website.
Yours sincerely,
Emy Widén

FGM RACIST CAKE.ALL SURVIVORS OF FGM WANT IS A TRUE APOLGY ,THAT IS ALL WE ASK.SIGN OUR PETITION AT CHANGE.ORG IN SOLIDARITY.
Dear Minister for Swedish Culture,
This letter is written on behalf of everyone who has either died, survived or is advocating an end to the harmful cultural practice of female genital mutilation. Before writing this letter, a honest attempt has been made to unravel the exact events of what actually happened and why at the Moderna Museet concerning the Swedish Artists organisation cultural event that took place within this last week.
In the research undertaken for the writing of this letter, it is of the understanding that you are a supposed supporter of anti-FGM campaigns and that Sweden takes a serious stance against this extreme gender –based violence. This subject based on long cultural traditions but is widely recognised as being very harmful and causing deaths to many girls and women. In fact, to date, it is not completely known how many women and girls have actually died, given that deaths are under reported and in rural Africa true figures are not known. What we do know is that injury and complications are serious and a life-time of health complications results. Facts that you should be well aware of given your interest in the subject.
So, it is with astonishment that you took part in this dreadful and de-based spectacle. In your defence, journalists have argued that you walked into something in which you were unaware the full ramifications of. That once in the room, you had to go along with it. This is no defence. You must have known how much insult you would cause and what a media disaster this would be for you and the party you represent. You should have known exactly what you were attending and what you would be expected to do. There is no reason that can be seen as to how this was ever going to ever help the anti-FGM cause and make a point of its abhorrence. It was a theatrical spectacle where the whole issue was made into a joke, something to be laughed at. This may very well had been the last thing you wanted but this is the result. And the result is mortifying to those directly affected.
Therefore, this letter is asking for a full public apology not only from yourself but from the artist Makode Linde for the extremely misguided actions and the subsequent hurt and potential humiliation you have caused to its victims. We do hope you have the comparison, the moral fibre and the dignity to reply,
Yours sincerely,
