Publication, Part of Female Genital Mutilation
Female Genital Mutilation, Annual Report - April 2025 to March 2026
Official statistics in development
Partial data available
While producing this year's annual FGM publication we have identified a few problems in our new publication process that means that we are unable to provide a full report at this time. We are working through these issues at the moment and the data will be updated in the near future.
The impacted sections of the report are:
- Summary - values from last year's publication are stated where values are not available.
- About the data - no breakdown of FGM types is currently available.
- Part 6 Overall data completeness - missing one breakdown.
- FGM Dashboard is not currently included.
We are sorry for any inconvenience.
