Liberia’s president introduces bill to ban FGM and child marriage, with penalties and education period.
President Joseph Boakai has introduced a bill to ban female genital mutilation (FGM) and child marriage in Liberia, following advocacy from women’s rights groups.
The proposed law, aligned with international human rights treaties, includes penalties, victim support, and a six-month transition period for public education and community engagement.
It was referred to four parliamentary committees for review within three weeks.
The move marks a significant step toward enforcing protections in a country where no specific law previously existed despite decades of advocacy.
