Africa’s Sheikhs & Imams meet to disavow FGM
Category: africa Dated: 02/02/2005
A two-day conference, hosted by the Djiboutian government will bring together the highest religious authorities in the Horn of Africa, to deny the traditional practice of female genital mutilation is linked to religion.

By uniting African religious leaders from countries, where FGM is widely practised, campaigners see it as an opportunity to permanently break the link between the cultural practice and Islam and also to reinforce the view that FGM is a violation of women�s rights.

Ms Kwateng-Kluvitse added, �a lot of the women from those practising communities do believe firmly that it�s a religious obligation and if you say to women and girls that your prayers are not heard unless you�ve been cut, or that you�re not a good Muslim unless you do it, then we do need somebody who is a religious leader saying that this is not the case.�
