International Day of Zero Tolerance
to Female Genital Mutilation – The United Nations sponsors this
day to make the world aware of the fact that female genital
mutilation happens in many countries of this world and we need to do
whatever we can to make it stop. The first step is to get into those
areas where it happens and educate parents who, for reasons I cannot
comprehend, believe it's the right thing to do to their daughters.
Lame Duck Day – Elected
officials who are nearing the end of their terms are considered lame
ducks. This is a day to reflect upon the contributions of these
ducks, I mean people, to society at large before they go off to
obscurity. If you don't like the official leaving office, give them
a break today. After all, they will be out of office very shortly.
To celebrate today, get the lame duck
leaving office in your area to use whatever influence they have left
to spread awareness of the problem of female genital mutilation in
the world.
