It is estimated that from 100 to 140 million girls and women have undergone some form of genital mutilation/cutting, and at least 3 million girls are at risk of undergoing the practice every year.

A concert featuring UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Angelique Kidjo presented by the Permanent Mission of Italy to the United Nations in cooperation with the United Nations, UNFPA and UNICEF will take place on 28 February at UNHQ in NYC at 7 pm.
