Findings: The report notes that relative to years past,FGM/E is being carried out on much younger girls,with 69% of women aged 20 to 24 years having undergone excision before 10 years of age. Traditionally groups of girls were excised together,but there has been an increase in private practices,such as individual excision and excision in infants,which may result from awareness campaigns and an increase in legal sanctions.
