Marie Curie was the first women to be awarded a Nobel prize, in Physic, jointly with her husband Pierre Curie and Henri Becquerel for the discovery of Radium. In 1911 she was awarded a Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Nigeria is on second place with almost 5 million girls, followed by Ethiopia and Mali, both with more than 3 million girls in that age group. Gambia has the highest percentage of girls undergone FGM (56.1), followed by Mauritania (51.4) and Indonesia (49.2).]]> This map shows the number of girls (0-14 years old), who have undergone FGM (as reported by their mothers).
