Estimation of girls at risk of female genital mutilation in the European Union: Step by step guide

06.05.2016 / Created by (EMWF)

This guide was developed within the framework of the study on the estimation of the number of women and girls at risk of female genital mutilation (FGM) in selected EU Member States. It sets out the minimum requirements for estimating FGM risk, as well as suggestions to enhance the quality and accuracy of the assessment. It aims to be a practical support for those appointed to the task to estimate the risk of FGM in a region or a country within the EU. At the same time, offering a common methodological framework to estimate FGM risk in the EU, contributes to the production of comparable and updated data across EU Member States. It also helps policy makers to continue their work towards the prevention of FGM and the protection of girls from being subjected to this harmful practice.
