Overview

297-307 million women and girls alive today have undergone female genital mutilation (FGM), amounting to one in every thirteen of them. The great majority are mutilated before puberty, sometimes as early as in infancy. About a quarter of Muslim females have undergone FGM, compared to 1 in 54 non-Muslim females. Immigration from FGM-practising Islamic countries has introduced FGM to countries hitherto unaffected with, for example, 513,000 victims in the United States, 161,000 in Canada and 139,000 in France. In Sweden 1.3% of all girls and women are affected. These are some findings of the CSPII FGM Index 2026 which show the strong correlation between FGM and the influence of Islamic doctrine. We include an analysis of primary Islamic doctrine which reveals that the Koran implies FGM to be a part of human nature as created by Allah, and should be practised by Muslims; that Mohammed, Islam's founder, repeatedly approved of FGM, and that Mohammed's closest friends, family and companions practised FGM. Muslim women are thus the primary victims of the Islamic doctrine they adhere to. Many organizations combatting FGM have denied any connection between Islamic doctrine and FGM. This puts at risk the lives, health and welfare of millions of women and girls since no solution is effective that does not take into account the true causes of a problem. It is our hope that this recurring publication, by highlighting the gravity of the problem and by exposing links between Islamic doctrine and FGM, will contribute to a better understanding of the nature and causes of FGM, and thereby help eliminate this grave violation of the dignity and rights of children, and the women they grow up to be. Our objective is to ensure the widest possible dissemination of this publication while making clear that the ideological origins of Female Genital Mutilation are rooted in primary Islamic doctrine, despite frequent claims to the contrary in many professional reports. Accordingly, the book (as PDF) is also available under a ""Pay What You Want"" model through our organization's website. Readers may obtain the publication by contributing any amount they choose as a donation - or access it free of charge. Visit our website to learn more.
