					FGM/C remains widespread in Malaysia, with a national prevalence of at least 53%, affecting over 7.5 million women and girls. Among Malay Muslims, prevalence is estimated at 93%.
The practice is typically performed on infants between seven to 14 days after birth, though it can occur up to 12 months of age.
Malaysia lacks a cohesive national policy or legal framework addressing FGM/C.
