According to the World Health Organisation some 130 million women around the world have suffered due to female genital mutilation (FGM). Every year two million girls and young women are subjected to this practice that survives despite efforts taken in many of the countries involved to try to eradicate it. While the practice continues in sub-Saharan Africa, some of the Arab peninsula and parts of the Far East, these are not the only regions affected. Emigration to from these areas to Europe, the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand is challenging these governments to find a solution to FGM as it is now practiced in these countries.
