Dear Nasim, Saira and Razia,

I am glad to learn that there will be a state level muslim women's conference to be held shortly.  Please inform us the results of your deliberations and the areas you feel that govt needs to pay more attention. Recently i had also received an e mail about stopping female genital mutilation among Bohras. Please see whether you can enquire whether this is a practise which is active and if so please take some do some advocacy against it.

thank you.

with regards,
