Dear mem/sir

Greetings of the seson.
We have worked with homeless people.We handledled many problems of these people who are unprotected from all sides.including risk of STD and HIV/AIDS..etc.

We have been working with Muslim community for over five years and have identified saveral problems of this community.We want to draw your attention towards following factors:that have emerged after our prolonged work and study of of this commonity:-

1.Circumcision is a religious duty of a Muslim man.It is done as a ritual in the chidhood Mostly several children of an extended Muslim family are circumcised together. The person who perfom this task is usually a barber whoes only qualification is that his father, gradfather ,grand father great grandfather etc. had been doing it.Without observing any rules of hygiene he circumcises all the children with the same razor without even sterlizing it.To avoid titanus he even gives TT injections to these children, more often than not with the same needle .

2.Due to illiteracy community is less informed aboutt health issues.

3.Men of the cummnity usually go to othe parts of the country or abroad.They live away from their families for long durations, sometimes for years together.This makes them vulnerable.

4.Parda system and low status of women are another another important factors that makes the cummnity vulnerable to riks like STD,HIV/AIDS etc Men bring infections and pass the to women who usuallycan neither protest nor suggest any measure.Rights of a man to bring in upto four wives and get rid of his wife by uttering word ‘Talak’ three times keeps women in constant fear

5 As Muslims do not believe in family planning they are reluctan to use condoms which they percieve as a means to avoid pregnancy

6 Most Muslims go to quakes who usually practise medicine in Muslim neighbourhoods. These doctors give injections and even perform small surgeries including using their knives on women during childbirth

We want to work on larger plateform and share our experiences with other organisations

We request you to include the above mentioned researchwork of our orgnisation to be part your’s agenda .
