The issue of migration from African and Asian countries is the focus of the industrialized countries, said in a response to the Federal Government (17/6217) to an inquiry by the parliamentary group Alliance 90/The Greens (17/5985). Since 1999, the German development policy in the ten member countries has invested about 14 million € for measures to overcome female genital mutilation, according to the response further.
