مولانا کوثر نیازی

مولانا کوثر نیازی
گذشتہ ماہ اخباروں سے یہ معلوم کر کے بڑا صدمہ ہوا کہ پاکستان کے مشہور عالم و مصنف، ادیب و شاعر اور سیاست داں مولانا کوثر نیازی کا انتقال دماغ کی شریان پھٹ جانے سے ہوگیا، اناﷲوانا الیہ راجعون۔
وہ ۱۹۳۴؁ء میں میانوالی پنجاب میں پیدا ہوئے، طالب علمی کا زمانہ پریشانی میں گزرا مگر ان کے حوصلے بلند رہے، تعلیم سے فراغت کے بعد قومی اشغال سے ان کا شغف بڑھا، ایک زمانے میں جماعت اسلامی کے سرگرم رکن رہے۔ اس سے علیحدگی کے بعد جناب ذوالفقار علی بھٹو سابق وزیر اعظم پاکستان کی پیپلز پارٹی میں شامل ہوئے اور ۱۹۷۰؁ء میں سیالکوٹ سے قومی اسمبلی کے ممبر منتخب ہوئے، ۱۹۷۲؁ء میں وزیر اعظم مسٹر بھٹو نے انہیں امور مذہبی و اطلاعات و نشریات کا وزیر بنایا۔ موجودہ وزیر اعظم مسز بے نظیر بھٹو نے انہیں اسلامی کونسل کا چیرمین مقرر کیا تھا۔
صحافت و خطابت کے میدان میں بھی وہ اپنے جوہر دکھاتے رہے۔ بڑے اچھے مقرر اور خطیب تھے، کئی برس تک لاہور، سے ہفت روزہ ’’شہاب‘‘ نکالتے رہے اور کئی علمی و دینی کتابیں یاد گار چھوڑیں۔ ان کی کتابوں، اسلام ہمارا دین، بصیرت، بنیادی حقیقتیں اور آئینہ تثلیث کو بڑی مقبولیت حاصل ہوئی، آخر الذکر کتاب اس وقت لکھی گئی جب پاکستان میں عیسائی مشنریاں ناواقف مسلمانوں کو عیسائی بنانے میں سرگرم تھیں، یہ کتاب دراصل اسلام کی عیب جوئی کرنے والے عیسائی مبلغین کے لیے ایک آئینہ ہے جس میں عیسائیت کے اصلی خط و خال نمایاں ہوگئے ہیں۔ بھٹو حکومت کے خاتمہ کے بعد انھوں نے ’’اور لائن کٹ گئی‘‘ کے نام سے جو کتاب لکھی تھی اس میں اس کا ذکر ہے کہ فوجی انقلاب کیسے آیا؟ مولانا کی تحریر و تصنیف کی ایک خوبی روانی اور شگفتگی بھی ہے۔

Female Genital Mutilation and its Medicalizationa Qualitative Study Among Healthcare Professionals and Community Leaders in Kisii County

Background: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), female genital mutilation (FGM) includes all procedures that involve removal of the female genitalia and / or injury to the female genital organs for cultural and / or any other nonmedical reason. The practice poses serious threats to women’s health hence violating their health and rights. FGM, also referred to as genital cutting, is deeply rooted amongst the Abagusii community of Kenya, with 84% of the girls cut as per Kenya Demographic Health Survey report of 2014 and the medicalized form slowly replacing the traditional cut. Overall in Kenya, the medicalized form stands at 14% as at 2014. Although FGM is illegal in Kenya, and the existing strategies by government through various laws and policies to curb FGM notwithstanding, its prevalence among the Abagusii community remains unacceptably high and medicalization seems to be increasing. Understanding the experiences and perspectives amongst healthcare professionals and community leaders in this community, will help inform new strategies to curb the practice. Objectives: Primary objective: To explore the experiences and perspectives of health professionals and community leaders towards FGM and its medicalization in Kisii county. Secondary objectives: To establish the experiences and perspectives among health professionals and community leaders on factors that contribute to the continued practice of FGM in Kisii county and secondly, to elicit views of health professionals and community leaders on new strategies that if used, could help curb the medicalization of FGM in Kisii county. Methods: A qualitative study using a focused ethnography approach was conducted to explore the experiences and perspectives of health professionals and community leaders towards FGM and its medicalization in Kisii county. Sampling was purposive. Twenty-six participants (18 health professionals and eight community leaders) from two sub-counties of Kisii County were recruited. Signed informed consent was acquired from all participants. Data collection was done using audio-recorded semi-structured interviews. All audiorecordings were transcribed in English. A thematic approach was used for analysis supported by NVivo version 12 plus software. Results: A total of 18 healthcare professionals (six doctors, six clinical officers, six nurses), eight community leaders (two representatives from local community-based organizations relevant to the study topic of interest, two religious leaders and four chiefs/assistant chiefs) were interviewed. Among health workers, doctors demonstrated more understanding on FGM compared to the other healthcare professionals. All the study participants demonstrated little knowledge on existing laws and policies. The general attitude towards FGM
