This publication analyses available statistics on female genital mutilation/cutting, with the aim of improving understanding of related issues in the wider context of gender equality and social change. The study centres on women aged 15-49 and their daughters, presenting estimates and examining differentials in prevalence, and highlighting patterns within the data that can strategically inform programmatic efforts. It will serve as a companion piece to the November 2005 UNICEF Innocenti Digest on Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting.

Alina Reyes agreed to appear totally in the nude for this book in which she completely opens up and focuses on the beauty of the human body as well as the background to female nudity in mythology, history and make-believe since the dawning of humanity.
