From: www.uyghurensemble.co.uk/en-html/nf-research-article1.htmlWomen Sufi ritualists, known as buwi, are numerous across the region. Their rituals are similar in form to those of the men, although the melodies of their ritual songs (munajat) differ from the hokmet of the men. The buwi also sing at shrine (mazar) festivals, they may serve as mourners at funerals, and they conduct healing and exorcism rituals (khetme) in peoples homes. Their plangent monajat songs, usually sung unaccompanied, are considered to be very moving. Question: How common are buwi? What else can you tell me about them?

I do not know much about the buwi, but the Sufi sect, called Rifai accept the wonem equal to the men in Sufism. Samiha Ayverdi and Cemalnur Sargut are famous women sufis of the Rifai sect.
