Anti-FGM campaigner Leyla Hussein with her daughter, “When I was seven, four women held me down and cut my clitoris. I felt every single cut. I was screaming so much I blacked out.” Leyla was inspired at the birth of her daughter, and her faith in Islam to raise awareness. Hussein is now co-founder of Daughters of Eve, a non-profit organisation working to protect women who are at risk from the cultural (not religious) practice of FGM. Living in East London in a "predominantly Pakistani, Bangladeshi Muslim" neighbourhood. "A lot of them have never heard of FGM," she says. "They were quite shocked to learn that such a thing is associated with Islam.I’ve been embraced by many big Muslim organisations. Most of the women who've spoken out against FGM happen to be Muslim: “In Nigeria the biggest community that practices FGM is the Christian community. But there hasn’t been a single survivor from that Christian community that has spoken out, yet. If you speak to them about it, they will say, this is our Christian practice. Most of the survivors who have spoken out are Somali & Somalia is a mainly Muslim country. This is why FGM is associated with Islam.
The idea that FGM is a Muslim issue is a myth and religious leaders should be speaking out to dispel this myth, yet the majority are silent. When any form of violence or oppression becomes an issue in a community, you will find religion is used as a means for excusing behaviours. When oppression is involved, religion becomes a tool.”
