Protect the FGM Ban, Protect the Girls!

Protect the FGM Ban, Protect the Girls!

Avaaz


Girls in The Gambia as young as four months old are blindfolded, pinned down, and forced to have their genitals cut off — and soon this horror could be completely legal.
Gambian politicians want to reverse the country’s ban on female genital mutilation.
FGM survivors are trying to save the ban and protect the girls who haven’t been cut yet.
Those brave women are asking us to join the fight with a massive global outcry.
We have less than 90 days to act, so sign now and Avaaz will work with Gambian groups to bring our voices to the decision-makers!

On Paul Verlaine ♥ Birthday

Paul Verlaine by Léopold Poiré,
before 1896

♥♥♥


Il pleure dans mon cœur

Il pleure dans mon cœur
Comme il pleut sur la ville;
Quelle est cette langueur
Qui pénètre mon cœur?

Ô bruit doux de la pluie
Par terre et sur les toits!
Pour un cœur qui s’ennuie
Ô le bruit de la pluie!

Il pleure sans raison
Dans ce cœur qui s’écœure.
Quoi! nulle trahison? …
Ce deuil est sans raison.

C’est bien la pire peine
De ne savoir pourquoi
Sans amour et sans haine,
Mon cœur a tant de peine.

- Paul Verlaine -

March 30, 1844 - January 8, 1896
