According to the AHA Foundation, there are 44,293 women at risk of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) in the state of Minnesota. The AHA Foundation was established to protect women from so-called “honor” violence, advance freedom of speech in public debate, and support the work of Muslim reformers. The AHA Foundation rates each state A-F on these issues. Minnesota received a D rating due to their poor anti-FGM policies.
