Estimation of the number of girls at risk of FGM in the EU
- Overview
- Publications
Description
EIGE is estimating the number of girls at risk of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) in Austria, Denmark, Luxembourg and Spain. The study will use EIGE’s risk estimation methodology, which was previously used to estimate the number of girls at risk of FGM in Ireland, Portugal and Sweden, Belgium, Cyprus, France, Greece, Italy and Malta.
Accurate estimations of the number of girls at risk are required to effectively tackle FGM. To support evidence-based policymaking EIGE will provide tailor-made recommendations for each of the four countries. The recommendations will take into account patterns of migration and will be informed by an analysis of the policy and legislative framework, sessions with migrant communities, experience-sharing sessions with policymakers and experts, as well as the risk estimations in each country.
FGM is a severe form of gender-based violence, which the EU is committed to eliminating. This work will support EIGE’s long-term objective to help eliminate gender-based violence in the EU.

Gender-based violence
ViolencePolice officers play a leading role in reducing violence against women by an intimate partner. They are often the first authority victims turn to for protection, especially in countries where police are trusted. Risk assessment and risk management strategies are two vital steps that ensure the immediate safety of victims and prevent further violence.
