Correction

In our last edition of the newsletter, we published that the organization National Association of Negro Business and Professional Women’s Clubs donated thousands of sanitary napkins to Francess Cole’s sanitary napkin drive.  We would like to correct the number that it was not thousands instead it was several hundred napkins.  We regret the misprint.

Attention: The U.S. government opposes FGM/C, no matter the type, degree, or severity, and no matter what the motivation for performing it. The U.S. government considers FGM/C to be a serious human rights abuse, gender-based violence, and, when done to children, a form of child abuse. It is against the law to perform FGM/C in the United States on a girl under the age of 18 or to send or attempt to send her outside the United States so FGM/C can be performed. People who violate this law can face prison time and significant immigration consequences. Additionally, anyone who performs FGM/C on a woman 18 years old or older without her consent may be charged with a crime under other laws.  If someone performed FGM/C on you, you have not violated any U.S. laws and are not at fault, call 1-800-994-9662.
