Lumiere Charity remembers the women in Uzbekistan who allege being forcibly sterilised, and are no longer able to have children. In the Book of Genesis God graced men and women with the gift of bringing new life forth from their love, to bear children who would comfort and support them in advancing years. A woman's ability to bear children is an integral part of her God gifted being. Our thoughts are with the women who grieve the loss of this gift of the human right to bear sons and daughters. A lit candle has been burning in remembrance of the women of Uzbekistan, and for their husbands and loved ones.
An online petition to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to stop forced sterilisations is available. Why not sign the petition to add to the numbers of those concerned for the rights of the vulnerable mother and her right to bear children?
Below please find a link to information about the alleged sterilisations.
