The [[human rights ]] organization [[TARGET]] was founded in September 2000 by [[Rüdiger Nehberg]]. It achieved success in the fight against [[FGM|female genital mutilation]]. In November 2006, TARGET organized and financed a conference under the auspices of the Egyptian Grand Mufti Ali Gomaa at {{UNI|Al-Azhar University|Azhar}} in Cairo. As a result of this conference, leading Islamic legal scholars condemned the practice of genital mutilation. In March 2009, Nehberg and Tarafa Baghajati visited the Islamic legal scholar and publicist Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who lives in Qatar. In a fatwa drawn up by the recognized legal scholar, the genital mutilation of girls is described as the “work of the devil” and prohibited under all circumstances because it is directed against the ethics of [[Islam]].<ref name="WikipediaNehberg">{{URLwikipedia|Rüdiger_Nehberg|Rüdiger Nehberg|2021-11-10}}</ref><ref>{{REFweb
