The Danish Action Plan against FGM
Den Danske Handlingsplan imod Omskæring af Kvinder
The information was last updated in 2013 and may not accurately represent the present situation. It makes a reference to the United Kingdom as a member of the European Union and was published before the UK's withdrawal from the European Union on the 31 January 2020.
The action plan briefly summarizes the Danish legislation on FGM and concludes the necessity of an action plan. This conclusion is based on a low level of knowledge on FGM and the fact that the law does not seem to be applied in practice. Therefore a volunteer steering committee is established consisting of experts who formulated the action plan. The action plan sets out strategies, target groups, responsible actors and time schedule on how to combat FGM in Denmark.
