How prevalent is FGM in the United States?

In the United States, approximately 513,000 women and girls have undergone or are at risk of undergoing female genital mutilation.

Women and girls born in the United States may be subjected to FGM here or during vacations to their families' countries of origin, a practice known as "vacation cutting."

To prevent families from sending their daughters to their home countries to be cut, the United States passed legislation in 2013 making it illegal to knowingly transport a girl out of the country for the purpose of cutting.

FGM/C has gained attention in the United States in part due to an increase in the number of immigrants from countries where FGM/C is common, particularly Sub-Saharan Africa.

Between 2000 and 2013, the African-born foreign-born population more than doubled, from 881,000 to 1.8 million.
