J'ai dit non à l'excision : Latty
Les mutilations génitales féminines (MGF) sont pratiquées dans le monde entier, malgré le risque d'hémorragie, d'infection et même de décès. À l'occasion de la Journée internationale de tolérance zéro pour les mutilations génitales féminines, les filles du monde entier luttent contre les MGF
Bending the curve: FGM trends we aim to change
If FGM continues to be practised at current levels, 68 million girls will be subjected to FGM by 2030.
New data shows the numbers are larger, and increasing.
Prior estimates did not include data from Indonesia, thereby underestimating the number of girls having FGM each year in high-risk countries. Prior estimates indicated approximately 3.2 million girls have FGM per year.
Why will the number increase? Because of population growth among young girls in 25 countries where FGM is prevalent and relevant data are available.
