After Egypt earlier this year legislated a ban against female genital mutilation (FGM), authorities are now spearheading works to fight FGM at an international level as well. First Lady Suzanne Mubarak next weekend will open a Cairo conference on the issue.
The Egyptian National Council for Childhood and Motherhood (NCCM) and the non-profit organisation No Peace Without Justice (NPWJ) are re-launching the international campaign against female genital mutilation (FGM) by convening a High-Level Regional Conference "For the elimination of female genital mutilation - the Cairo Declaration + 5", to be held in Cairo next weekend.
The conference will be opened by Egyptian First Lady Suzanne Mubarak. Ms Mubarak already has stood out in the national fight against the harmful practice and she heads the technical committee of NCCM. She repeatedly has brought up FGM in national media to raise awareness.
The conference was said to "bring together key international figures, First Ladies from the region, ministers, parliamentarians, representatives of UN agencies and civil society activists from 18 African countries affected by the practice who have played a key role in the battle for the eradication of FGM in recent years."
The purpose of the meeting was said to be to facilitate greater and more cohesive political mobilisation to consolidate the commitments and most successful initiatives undertaken at the national and regional levels and transform them into a stable, coherent political strategy, shared by African and international partners, with the ultimate goal of the complete eradication of the practice of FGM in the near future.
There has been encouraging progress towards this goal in recent years, with the adoption of specific legislation by many countries in which FGM is carried out and wide-ranging information and public awareness campaigns to put an end to the practice. In Egypt, for example, the awareness campaign conducted by the NCCM bore fruit on 10 June 2008, when the Cairo parliament adopted a law that punishes FGM as a criminal act.
In addition, with the Protocol on the Rights of Women, adopted in Maputo by Member States of the African Union in 2003 and which entered into force on 25 November 2005, African states have adopted a binding instrument that covers a broad range of women's rights, and explicitly condemns FGM as a violation of fundamental human rights and urges African governments to adopt specific legislative measures that prohibit the practice.
Five years after the "Cairo Declaration for the Elimination of Female Genital Mutilation," adopted during the International Conference on "Legal Tools for the Prevention of FGM", also organised by NPWJ and NCCM in Cairo on 21-23 June 2003, this high-level meeting "will provide an opportunity to share knowledge and experience accumulated at regional and national levels, in order to identify and consolidate the best strategies and legislative policies against FGM, increase the number of countries that ratify and implement to the Maputo Protocol and create the foundations of a real and strong international alliance to defeat FGM once and for all," according to the organisers.
The Cairo conference is organised with the support of the Italian development cooperation agency, the World Bank and the involvement of UN agencies involved in the fight against FGM.

Yes, they are also used when two people cannot afford to get married, you know, when still students, etc. Maybe I could have been like so many here- meet him a couple of times in public, then pop down and get a moj marriage, and a few months later complain how I don't really know my husband. OR I could be meeting him as much as possible, seeing if we are compatible as a married couple, and then plan a proper wedding, not some quickie. And then, a few months down the line, I wont be here saying "oh I can't live with him", etc, because I would know that I can. Anyway, I only understand half of what you say (remember, grammar is your friend), and the half I do understand seems judgemental (how unreligious of you) and bitter. Why is that?

To revert is to go back to (return) to an original idea
To convert is to adapt to a new idea...

What the hell is wrong with that woman???? Boy, she needs to get the hell off her high horse, and start making sense. I’m NOT a humanist, never have been. I respect their views… do you know what that means, respecting other peoples views and beliefs? You know, tolerance, something you clearly lacking (once again, how very unreligious of you, yeah, I’m sure God would be so proud of your attitude, ha, right). If you like Saudi, go live in Saudi- but most people DON’T want Egypt like that, and Egypt will never be like that. You cannot corrupt people unwilling to be corrupting, if Egyptians didn’t want orfi’s, alcohol, etc, then there is nothing westerners can do to make them. It is their job to keep their culture, not ours. Me and Sam cannot afford to get married yet, simple and very common for a guy 25 years old there. I’m a student so cannot help with expenses, nor would he allow me to anyway. Also, because of my studies, I can’t live there yet, so silly getting married if we wont be together for over 6 more months. Clearly you are not a very good Muslim, so I’ve no idea how you think you have the right to judge how others practise their religions.

Now why wouldn't I answer you? I'm not the one getting bored. You decided to attack me out of the blue, and talking about things I discussed ages ago (what are you, some weird stalker??). You have also shown your complete intolerance to people with different beliefs (I'm not even a humanist, so god alone knows what your problem is with them). Oh, and now you have gone to name calling, oh joy. Have you always been a nutjob? And I know you are not superior, for some reason you just think you are. Sad really, acting like this when you are supposed to be a mother. Ahh hypocrites, gotta love 'em.

Ok so can someone catch me up here, "hugging her baby girl" has over 4500 posts and has had two different names in the last two days?
What are the past ID's so I can keep the nutters straight?
Oh, and if you scroll up you will see this topic was never on topic, so it can't be declared a hijacking.
