Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting across Africa: Dynamics of Change and Socioeconomic Variation
Abstract
This document presents a study on Female Genital mutilation/Cutting across Africa: Dynamics of Change and Socioeconomic Variation. FGM/C prevalence has declined fastest (in relative terms) in countries with lower initial prevalence, and more slowly in countries with higher initial prevalence. Although bettereducated women and those living in urban areas tend to have lower prevalence, in some countries the opposite pattern is observed. Socioeconomic differentials in FGM/C have grown in the majority of countries, particularly in countries with moderate-to-higher overall prevalence.
