The most recent estimates (UNICEF 2020) suggest that 230 million girls and women have undergone female genital mutilation (FGM), and 4 million girls are at risk each year.Half of the affected population, totaling 100 million, is concentrated in three countries: Egypt, Ethiopia, and Indonesia. While the practice is prevalent in at least 28 African countries, it is also found in Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia), the Arabian Peninsula (Yemen, Oman), the Middle East (Iraq, Iran), and Latin America (Colombia, Peru).Prevalence varies significantly between regions, including within countries. Ethnic group and region of origin are determining factors.
