In 2013 there were 56,232 women and girls in Norway who have emigrated from countries where it is known that female genital mutilation\/cutting (FGM\/C) occurs. <\/p>\n
A minimum estimate of the number of women in Norway subjected to FGM\/C are 14,830 women. This is calculated based on the assumption that the probability that a woman has undergone FGM\/C equals the national prevalence in her country of origin if she immigrated to Norway after the age of 15. The probability of FGM\/C is assumed to be zero for those who immigrated to Norway before they turned 15. <\/p>\n
Based on common age for FGM\/C and prevalence FGM\/C, based on the common age in their parents’ country of origin. in the women’s country of origin it is likely that 17,306 women and girls in Norway have been sub- jected to FGM\/C prior to immigration. This repre- sents half of the women from countries where it is known that FGM\/C occurs and where the preva- lence is known. In addition, it constitutes 6.1 percent of all immigrant women\/girls living in Norway in 2013. <\/p>\n
There were 297 immigrant girls, who in 2013 were too young to be subjected to FGM\/C, according to the common age in their country of origin. I addition, 1,159 girls were at the age where FGM\/C usually occurs in their country of origin and 4,763 women and girls have grown up in Norway and are now older than the common age. <\/p>\n
There were 11,773 Norwegian-born women and girls in Norway in 2013, whose parents are from countries where FGM\/C occurs. Of these, 3,925 girls were in the age where FGM\/C usually occurs in their parents’ country of origin. Further, 3,563 were older than the common age in their parents’ country of origin and 2,565 were still too young for FGM\/C, based on the common age in their parents’ country of origin<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"file":0,"project":[]},"publication_tag":[],"topic_tax":[],"class_list":["post-6094","report","type-report","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nkvts.dev08.dekodes.no\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/report\/6094","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nkvts.dev08.dekodes.no\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/report"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nkvts.dev08.dekodes.no\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/report"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nkvts.dev08.dekodes.no\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6094"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"publication_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nkvts.dev08.dekodes.no\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication_tag?post=6094"},{"taxonomy":"topic_tax","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nkvts.dev08.dekodes.no\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic_tax?post=6094"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
