  1. But… we dont practise female circumcision in Europe, how are these numbers so high? /s

  2. It seems a European issue now. And maybe I’m wrong, but I think it will be a bigger and bigger problem in the future. Christians, Jews, atheists, agnostics all don’t do this. How come it’s such a issue?

  3. Didn’t use to be a problem. What at all has happened?🤔

  4. how I wonder which religious and ethnic group could do this?

  5. I mean there is a huge difference between “FGM victims living in Europe” and “FGM being performed in Europe.” 

    How many of these procedures were actually performed in Europe vs. how many are women who fled from countries where FGM was done to them?

  6. I mean, Bosnian Muslim here I have no idea wtf is Female Genital Mutlation nor is that practiced by us.. No idea where this is coming from..

    I want to say this is probably something related to the Culture and not Religion. I know people will say “islam this and that” but I would say its something these people did even before islam.. anyway have a good one

  7. Numbers are out of whack. French gov gives half that number, 54.000.

  8. “It’s also a European issue!” What hilarious phrasing. *Why* is it a European issue, pray tell?

  9. Weird to make the case that it’s a problem in Europe with just the total, when these numbers could be reflecting people who had this crime committed against them outside of Europe.

  10. It’s not an European issue. Most of these women are immigrants and have been mutilated in their own countries thanks to their own families’ religious beliefs.

  11. Is it though? Or is it an ethnic & religious group issue.

    Also don’t know why were exlcuding male genital mutilation.

  12. This is pretty much a population heatmap. It doesn’t say much about specific countries unless you extrapolate the data yourself.

  13. Funny how “acid throwing”, “machete fights”, and “female mutilations” have suddenly become “European issues” in certain european countries… 😀 😀

  14. Welp, maybe these issues wouldn’t arise if we increased the number of uneducated young males from Africa flowing into Europe because i am sure they have nothing to do with it.

  15. The fuck? So much? I expected much less. Wtf? Disgusting.

  16. No religion should be touching anyones genitalia male or female. Its just absurd, if their god made them that way why change it, its all about control.

  17. That’s what happens when you import those, at what seems at an uncontrollable level, that have barbaric practises and beliefs

  18. stop importing people from islam world and problem will be solved by itself

  19. Yay NL in top 5 again! Chart should have more impact if we did percentage. NL has higher percentage than UK if we did a per demographic ratio going from these numbers. Anyway, I hope these FGM’s arent performed in Europe or we would have massive issue.

  20. Is the mutilation happening in those countries, or they happened elsewhere?

  21. As a balt it makes me proud that a specific group that makes up most of this list’s victims,dont want to live here 🙃 just don’t look at our *scide numbers,we don’t want to live here either 😅

  22. Less than 1% occurs in Europe which has 9,32% of the world’s population.

    And riddle me this, does it occur mostly among a group which is more populous somewhere else?

  23. > European Issue

    Way to lose your credibility first thing in the title.

    Oh right, just saw it’s from Statista. Right on brand then.

  24. i dont know any european culture where this is a part of their culture. Only the ones we have imported seem to like to chop up kids bits.

  25. Well, yeah, overlay that with immigration to countries over the decades from…..certain parts of the world.

    Correlation does equal causation here. Cultural norms move like this, both good ones and horrific ones.

  26. Male genital mutilation is so common in my country that if you even suggest it’s wrong people will flip out on you

  27. These maps are not very meaningful unless you measure per capita.

  28. You know which religion is the reason for the increase in female genital mutilation in europe. 🕌☪️🧕

  29. Imagine trying to persuade Europeans that we’ve been mutilating females all this time… this is imported
