The UK has the most with 137,000 cases. Latvia has the least with 5 cases. That’s quite a big jump.
Though Latvia has 1 million women+girls whereas The UK has 34.5 million women+girls. So The UK has approximately 630× more cases than Latvia adjusting for population differences.
Well shit.
Edit: Addressing frequent comments.
Yes I know most, if not all, victims of FGM are of Non-European decent. I don’t know if the data is showing victims in Europe or those victimised in Europe.
I’m aware that it’s not solely a Muslim phenomenon, or connected to Islam directly. Nor is FGM commonly supported practice in Asian and African countries.
Anyone wish this were a bigger issue. If we want to defend European values, why do we allow so many young girls in our countries to be tortured and mutilated like this?
Bruh… What…I’m shocked this is insane to me how is this a thing… In Europe???!!!!
For those not born in the country, were they mutilated and abused before they arrived in the country, or after?
I seriously doubt any native Irish parent would do this to their child. I’m guessing these are all from immigrant or refugee families.
There are specific laws against FGM in Ireland, and they are enforced. I knew a guy who was arrested and convicted. He was placed in the sex offenders prison.
Let’s be fair about this, it’s probably not the Europeans who are doing it. Just look at where it is the most and where the least prevalent. It goes hand in hand with the proportion of non-European immigrants.
“Religon of peace”
It has nothing to do with indigenous European culture. This is prevalent in Egypt, Ethiopia, Somalia, Yemen and Indonesia.
Just stimulate the Europeans to make sex more and we will not need those muslim immigrants
There was an article about this in Canada and the victims all told their stories of their ‘operation’ in their native country and then they all started complaining that the Canadian government wasn’t doing enough to stop this from happening overseas.
Dont have to tead: its 100% migrants. This is how much they assimilate
The scaling of those circles is ridiculous, do it properly or don’t do it at all.
It so sad to see genital mutilation of girls and boys is still so much practiced.
What on earth is female genital mutilation?
Not sure this is a very useful map, when as mentioned by others, we have no idea where the FGM occured, only where the victims live now. Yeah, obviously countries with more migration from regions of the world where FGM is more common would end up with more FGM victims living there (women who underwent FGM in their country, then, later migrated to Europe). Any map that includes immigrants that arrived to the country as adults would be pretty useless in assessing whether FGM is an ongoing issue in Europe. If you want to find that out, you would need to look at FGM numbers in people born in that country (whether from migrant parents or otherwise).
are numbers for male genital mutilation as well?
Some context by WHO (world health organization):
>More than 200 million girls and women alive today have undergone female
genital mutilation (FGM) in 30 countries in Africa, the Middle East and
Asia where FGM is practiced.
They also state
>Where FGM is a social convention (social norm), the social pressure to
conform to what others do and have been doing, as well as the need to be
accepted socially and the fear of being rejected by the community, are
strong motivations to perpetuate the practice.
>
>FGM is often considered a necessary part of raising a girl, and a way to
prepare her for adulthood and marriage. This can include controlling
her sexuality to promote premarital virginity and marital fidelity.
The opinion of the European Commision about this:
>FGM is a crime in all EU Member States. In many EU countries it is also
possible to prosecute for conducting FGM abroad, following the principle
of extra-territoriality. This prevents families from taking their
daughters to their country of origin to have them mutilated there.
This type of operations are illegal in Europe and actively monitored, easy to say that the map show “simply” where people decide to migrates.
In Portugal it’s know that its done by immigrants from Guinea Bissau mainly. The grandmother’s do that shit do their own kids
Ironing should also be included !
I had no idea this was a thing in Europe. Why is it so prevalent in Western Europe but not Eastern?
The use of circles here is quite a weird one as the numbers are so different, like countries with under 100 cases are only 3-5 times smaller than countries with over 100,000 so that makes things confusing.
The map is so bad…
1) Areas is a terrible way to vehicle information
2) Circle areas is one of the worst (of the regular shapes, obv not talking about stupid sheningans)
4) The areas are not proportional at all, not even logarithmic from what I saw. So it is just some weird ass scale.
5) The shape of the countries are strange
6) The hole where no data is available is… Disturbing
Now do Male Genital Mutilation in the United States!
Around 2.3 billion males have had genital mutilation in the world
10-20% of males are mutialed in western/ northern Europe
You know whom are doing it
Europeans invited this
Bulgaria’s Muslims are just normal people, not those degenerates out there.
While we are on it, can we also show male general mutilation? Or maybe call it male baby penis mutation. Sponsored by parents and governments?
On a positive note there’s now a land connection between Finland and Estonia.
