English: Data derive from the 2016 UNICEF report (African countries + Iraq and Yemen, see File:FGM prevalence UNICEF 2016.svg), unless otherwise stated. *Data from the UNICEF report concern the age group 15–49, but data from other countries do not necessarily follow this category and can contain girls or women from any age group.

This map is seeks to update and expand the information presented in File:2013 Female Genital Mutilation Cutting Circumcision FGM World Map UNICEF.SVG with more recent data and from more countries outside Africa. It should be noted that these extra data were not collected by UNICEF (except in the case of Indonesia) and are of lower quality (smaller sample sizes and usually no indication of the age groups), but provide the best available information from countries where FGM is known to be widespread. Some assumptions made to interpret the data will be inaccurate.

An improved colour scheme has been introduced by darkening the upper three prevalence categories to make the distinction between 50–70% and 70–80% more conspicuous. An extra category, <1, has been introduced for countries where the prevalence is known to be below 1%, in order to distinguish them from countries without data (grey).

Colombia

Until 2007, virtually the entire Embera tribe of Colombia practised FGM (it is the only tribe in Latin America known to practice it). By 2015, a campaign to eradicate the practice had convinced 25,000 (10%) of the tribe's 250,000 members to abandon it. Colombia's Embera tribe hopes to eradicate FGM by 2030 (6 February 2015).

Iran

Data based on Kameel Ahmady (2015) A comprehensive research study on female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) in Iran, Kameel Ahmady, p. 27 Retrieved on 5 August 2018. , see also File:Prevalence of FGM Iran by province in 2014.svg. Based on the relative distribution of the Iranian population by province as documented in File:Iran population by province (bar chart).png, and assuming FGM is virtually insignificant outside the four highly affected provinces, the national prevalence in Iran is slightly over 2% (2014).

India

FGM is only known to be practiced widely amongst the Dawoodi Bohra, a branch of Ismaili Shia Muslims. In India, Bohras are thought to number one million people. According to a small qualitative research amongst 83 women and 11 men amongst India’s Bohra Muslims published in February 2018, 75% of respondents said they had subjected their daughters (aged seven years and above) to the practice. Lakshmi Anantnarayan (February 2018). The Clitoral Hood: A Contested Site. WeSpeakOut. Archived from the original on 2018-09-01. Retrieved on 6 August 2018. Assuming consistent incidence, this would amount to a national prevalence of about 0.058% in India (2018).

Indonesia

The large 2016 UNICEF study found a prevalence of 49% amongst girls aged 0 to 14. However, many girls/women undergo FGM at a later age, for which UNICEF had no data. Smaller recent studies have found prevalence rates of 70–92%, which is likely closer to the total figure. Even if it is to be assumed that the lower percentage amongst the younger generations indicates that the practice is in decline, the prevalence amongst the older generations has probably not yet been replaced. Moreover, researchers fear FGM is actually on the rise since 2010 after endorsement by the Ulama Council and apparent endorsement by the Ministry of Health. Indonesia is therefore provisionally represented as '70–80%'.

Jordan

According to a 2003 article in the Lebanese newspaper The Daily Star, FGM in Jordan is only known to be practiced in a single village of 500 residents, most of them Bedouins coming from the Egyptian Sinai desert via Israel/Palestine. This would amount to a 0.005% prevalence within Jordan's population of more than 9.5 million people. Rana Sabbagh-Gargour (13 November 2003). "The Jordanian town that still circumcises women".

Malaysia

A small qualitative survey with 1,196 participants, M. Dahlui (10 May 2012). The Practice of Female Circumcision in Malaysia. Paper presented at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Penang. Archived from the original on 2013-10-04. Retrieved on 6 August 2018., found a prevalence of 93.5% amongst Muslim women in Malaysia. Since Muslims accounted for only 61.3% in the 2010 census, and other religious groups represented in Malaysia are not known to have theologies supporting FGM (unlike the Shafi'i madhhab followed by almost all Malaysian Muslims), it may be reasonably inferred that the national prevalence was c. 57% in 2012.

Oman

According to a small survey by human rights activist and statistician Habiba Al Hinai conducted in October 2013 and published in January 2014, 78% of 100 women interviewed living in the capital city of Muscat had undergone FGM. These women came from all parts of the country, each region showing a very high prevalence, and even though fewer women from Muscat itself had undergone FGM, they were still in the majority. Her findings contradicted the common belief that FGM was only widespread in the south. Habiba Al Hinai (January 2014). Female Genital Mutilation in the Sultanate of Oman. Stop FGM Middle East.
