Many organizations combatting FGM have denied any connection between Islamic doctrine and FGM. This puts at risk the lives, health and welfare of millions of women and girls since no solution is effective that does not take into account the true causes of a problem. It is our hope that this recurring publication, by highlighting the gravity of the problem and by exposing links between Islamic doctrine and FGM, will contribute to a better understanding of the nature and causes of FGM, and thereby help eliminate this grave violation of the dignity and rights of children, and the women they grow up to be.
Our objective is to ensure the widest possible dissemination of this publication while making clear that the ideological origins of Female Genital Mutilation are rooted in primary Islamic doctrine, despite frequent claims to the contrary in many professional reports.
