* Includes women and girls born in countries with FGM/C prevalence rates of 2% or more, and U.S.-born
women and girls under age 30 with a resident parent who was born in countries with FGM/C prevalence rates
of 2% or more. Estimates of women and girls at risk are calculated by applying country-specific FGM/C
prevalence rates to U.S. women and girls with ties to those countries.
