The practice even though it is http://cultural.it is given a religious connotation. This makes it tough to challenge. However this is NOT a religious practice. It has nothing to do with Islam

Why is there a misconception that it is a religious practice and why is the religious bodies involved in such depth?

But the fact is there is no mention of FGM in the Quran. There is no mention of this being done to the Holy Prophets wives and daughters. It is much later that this prevalent cultural practice was given an islamic connotation

Our religious leaders tell the community that cutting the clitoral hood is required and it’s very hard to refuse or question powerful authority figures. There is a risk of social shunning.

There is already resistance from the religious leaders - what about the in-community resistance from the women themselves?

That is the greater challenge I feel, the resistance from the women. If the women understand that it is harmful for their daughters, it will be huge victory. But their belief in the leaders is so strong that it is difficult to make them understand

Again, I am happy that those women weren't hurt, as you say. But so many were. Why do we want our daughters to go through something that might possibly harm them?
