Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting: A Statistical Overview and Exploration of the Dynamics of Change

  • United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund

Abstract

A new report from UNICEF analyses prevalence and trends in female genital mutilation/cutting in 29 countries. Drawing on data from more than 70 nationally representative surveys over a 20-year period, the report finds that the practice has declined in a number of countries. Other important changes are under way.
