@dbwrf Yes I agree, FGM & FC are totally 2 different things ..
DAWOODI BOHRAS DO NOT SUPPORT FGM,that's an absolute brutal thing someone can do & yes it's very much offensive...
WE ARE NOT MUTILATORS..
WE SUPPORT FEMALE CIRCUMCISION ONLY!!

[DBWRF @dbwrf]

Dawoodi Bohra women are well-educated and belong to a community having a high literacy rate. Would an educated, independent woman choose a practice that is harmful? No! #FC is harmless. #RightToChoose #EndZeroToleranceToRightToChoose
