Genital Mutilation is recognized internationally as a violation of the human rights, and integrity of girls and women. It is particularly practiced in Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

More than 230 million girls and women alive today have been subjected to female genital mutilation (FGM); an increase of 30 million or 15 per cent compared with figures from 2016, new UN estimates revealed on Friday.
