WHO defines Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) as all procedures that involve the partial or total removal of external genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. The practice is still being reported in 30 countries in Africa and in some countries in Asia and the Middle East (Yemen, Iraqi, Kurdistan, Indonesia and Malaysia; there is a high prevalence of FGM in some specific geographical areas). Some forms of FGM have also been reported in specific ethnic groups in Central and South America. In the last decades, because of international migration, the number of affected or at risk of FGM girls and women has increased in high-income countries.
