US: Huge Increase in Girls Victimized by Genital Mutilation in U.S.
Washington Free Beacon – August 01, 2016
An estimated 513,000 women and girls are at risk or have already been subjected to female genital mutilation in the United States, with the number skyrocketing due to increased immigration from countries in the Middle East and North Africa, where the practice is common.
