In 2014, the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) commissioned this study to Yellow Window. The study aimed at:
- updating the research findings from the earlier study that Yellow Window performed on this subject (2011-2012)
- developing a methodology for estimating the number of girls at risk of FGM in a European context
- estimating the number of girls at risk of FGM in selected EU Member States: Ireland, Portugal and Sweden
