United Nations, Feb 5 (EFE).- At least 200 million girls and women, currently living in around thirty countries, have suffered female genital mutilation (FGM), according to a statement published by Unicef.

The figure increased by around 70 million compared to the latest estimates in 2014 because of more data gathered from countries where there is high prevalence of the practice, such as Indonesia, and because of population growth in some places.
