Upon returning to Ghana after participating in the Carter Center human rights conference, “Mobilizing Faith for Women,” we were asked: “Are you on a genuine mission to empower women and make them more productive to support their husbands and families while in marriage? Or are you being paid by your white masters to advance the course of women who develop to become unmanageable, uncontrollable and independent from men?” This is very worrisome because it illustrates the fundamental reasons why we decided to struggle for the rights of the disadvantaged in our communities. The solution is advocacy and training at the top level of Islamic leadership in developing countries. Assisting Imams, Islamic scholars, Muslim chiefs, and opinion leaders as well as youth leaders in this way will advance understanding of the struggle for the empowerment of women and all of us who believe in human rights for all.
