Comments
The denominator includes all living daughters age 5-9 of all women who participate in the FGC module. The number of daughters age 5-9 is taken from the woman’s birth history. In the FGC module, no data is collected on the circumcision status of daughters of women who have never heard of FGC, though in this indicator they are all assumed to be ‘not circumcised.’ Circumcision status of girls is reported by their mothers.
