"on the basis of the information available from a few small scale studies, between 100 and 132 million girls and women have been subjected to FGM around the world. Each year, a further 2 million girls are estimated to be at risk of the practice. Most of them live in 28 African countries, a few in the Middle East and Asian countries, and increasingly in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, the United States of America and Canada due to the continuation of the practice by immigrants from countries where FGM is common. With regard to Africa, the estimated proportion of women who have undergone FGM varies from 98 percent in Somalia to 5 percent in Zaire. A review of country-specific Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) shows FGM prevalence rates of : 97 percent in Egypt, 94.5 percent in Eritrea, 93.7 percent in Mali, 89.2 percent in Sudan, and 43.4 percent in the Central African Republic. FGM is also found among some ethnic groups in: Oman, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen, as well as in parts of: India, Indonesia, and Malaysia.
