Project description

The prevalence of FGM in the European Union is unknown, as there are no standardized methods to estimate the magnitude of the problem in each Member States by producing comparable data. The general aim of this project is to develop a common definition on FGM prevalence and a common methodology to estimate FGM prevalence that can be used throughout the EU.
