This morning I became aware of the case of Pamela Izevbekhai and her two young daughters. Currently living in Ireland, the Irish government wants to deport Pamela and her daughters to Nigeria, where they will face female genital mutilation.
Pamela “has already seen one of her daughters die from the after-effects of FGM, and fled the country because her husband’s family planned to forcibly mutilate her remaining two girls.”

Please, please visit the Let Them Stay website and print out a letter to the Irish Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Mr. Dermot Ahern, urging the Irish government to grant Pamela's family asylum. You don't have to be Irish to express your concern about Pamela's case. This is a matter of human rights.
You can find out more about female genital mutilation on the World Health Organizations' fact sheet. The information is very upsetting. This brutal practice has to be stopped.
