The number of female genital mutilation victims in Sweden has risen at an alarming rate, partly due to the migrant crisis.

While the yet-to-be-published study includes other countries, Swedish broadcaster SVT obtained the numbers for Sweden. It determined there are at least 150,000 victims of FGM living in the country. An increase of 100,000 since the last study.



As InfoWars points out, Sweden is home to many migrants from countries like Ethiopia and Somali, where female genital mutilation is common.



FGM is illegal in Sweden, but migrants may have either already had it done or will travel back home to have the barbaric procedure done.



In 2015, the National Board of Health estimated that there were approximately 38,000 genital mutilated women in Sweden. That number seems so far off now.
