Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin, the head religious leader of the Shia Dawoodi Bohra community and a vocal advocate of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is scheduled for a talk in front of tens of thousands in London between July 29th to August 7th. Anti-FGM campaigners are petitioning the UK government to revoke Saifuddin’s visa until he publicly denounces his support of this centuries-old custom which harms millions of girls and women. Saifuddin has over 1.2 million followers worldwide. Previously, Saifuddin’s office has issued letters to all his followers in nations wherein FGM practice is illegal, to not engage with this. However, a year later, he backtracked. He encouraged all his followers to perform FGM, even if residing in countries where FGM is illegal. In one of his public speeches, he said, “It must be done. If it is a man, it can be done openly, and if it is a woman, it must be discreet. But the act must be done.” UNICEF has reported that FGM violates the human rights of girls and women. According to UNICEF data, at least 200 million girls and women in 31 countries underwent FGM procedures. Former president of the Dawoodi Bohra Welfare Society, Saka Hakasi, said “Given he supports FGM, I don’t understand how he can be given a visa to visit the UK because it puts girls at risk. We are flabbergasted.”
