Liberia: UN Urges Liberia to Enact Permanent Ban On FGM

The United Nations has called for immediate and decisive action to permanently ban Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) in Liberia, as the country’s temporary moratorium on the practice expired on February 5, 2025.

The call was made during an event marking the International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation, organized by the Ministry of Gender, Children, and Social Protection (MOGCSP) in collaboration with the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) and UN Women.
