The report includes data on the type of FGM, age at which FGM was undertaken and in which country, the age of the woman or girl at her latest attendance and if she was advised of the health implications and illegalities of FGM and various other analyses. Some data for earlier years are reported.

Interactive Tool
FGM Dashboard
The FGM dashboard provides additional visualisation of this data, including time series. It is based on data extracted for the latest reporting period and will include any updates to previous reporting periods. Consequently, data in the dashboard may not match previously published data.
This tool is in Microsoft PowerBI which does not fully support all accessibility needs. If you need further assistance or have feedback to develop this dashboard further, please contact us at: [email protected].
