"Report: France sees a sharp increase in female genital mutilation cases
According to a recently released report by the French National Public Health Agency, the number of cases of female genital mutilation (FGM) has risen sharply over the last two decades.
The substantial increase was emphasized in the organization’s peer-reviewed journal, the Weekly Epidemiological Bulletin (BSH), which mentioned that the estimated number of female genital mutilation victims grew from 60,000 in the early 2000s to 124,3555 within a time span of about a decade.
Of those individuals who were found to be most at risk of FGM, the majority, 72 percent were migrants between the ages of 18 and 40 who mostly came from French-speaking parts of Africa. According to the report, 70 percent of the women who were victims came from either Mali, Cameroon, the Ivory Coast, Senegal, or Guinea.
As for women born in France who’ve experienced FGM, about 50 percent live in the Ile-de-France region which comprises Paris as well as the migrant dense suburb of Seine-Saint-Denis.
The report also mentions that France is likely to be the second-highest country in Europe in terms of FGM cases, behind only Britain."
