当 President Joseph Boakai 向 Liberia 立法机关提交名为《Act to Cultural Practices of Female Genital Mutilation and Child Marriage in Liberia》的法案时，女性权益倡导者和人权捍卫者倍感振奋。\n\n他们数十年来为废除针对15岁至49岁女性的这一传统习俗所作的努力，终于迎来了成果。各方纷纷发表新闻稿和声明，对这位 Liberia 领导人在废除女性割礼（FGM）方面采取的果敢举措表示感谢。\n\n然而，随着内政部长 Francis Sakila Nyumalin 宣布计划在制定新的规章制度后于2026年8月15日解除禁令，这一胜利正处于关键节点。\n\n“该委员会将作为我们传统治理体系的全国性机构召开会议。我们将公开该文件的内容，并随后解除对这些习俗的禁令。”Minister Francis Sakila Nyumalin 在 Zorzor district 的 Fissebu town、New Breed 社区代表出席 Lofa Community College 分校启用仪式时透露了这一计划。\n\n《Act to Cultural Practices of Female Genital Mutilation and Child Marriage》法案旨在永久禁止女性割礼。该法案是在 President Joseph Boakai 从 New York City 出席第四次世界妇女大会（即《北京宣言》和《行动纲领》相关会议）返回后提交的。他还宣布了一项83亿美元的国家议程，以促进性别平等、青年赋权和包容性发展。\n\n他表示：“曾经为期三年的暂缓施行期，如今将成为国家法律。”\n\n提交的法案须经立法机关通过并送交 Liberian Senate。通过后，法案将送回总统办公室签署并正式成为法律。

原文原文 / Original Text

When President Joseph Boakai submitted to the Liberian legislature the bill titled "Act to Cultural Practices of Female Genital Mutilation and Child Marriage in Liberia," women advocates and human rights defenders were excited.

Their decades of advocacy for the abolition of the cultural practices that have been performed on girls and women between the ages of 15 and 49 were finally coming to fruition. Press releases and statements were issued offering appreciation to the Liberian leader for his bold step on FGM.

But this victory stands at a critical juncture following the minister of internal affairs, Francis Sakila Nyumalin, announcement of plans to lift the ban on August 15, 2026, after developing new regulations and rules.

"The council will convene as a national body of our traditional governing system. We will declare public the content of that document and subsequently lift the ban on the practices. Minister Nyumalin made the disclosure of a program when he served as a proxy launcher for an annex of the Lofa Community College in New Breed community, Fissebu town, Zorzor district.

The Act to Cultural Practices of Female Genital Mutilation and Child Marriage bill is intended to permanently ban FGM. It was submitted after President Boakai returned from the Fourth World Conference on Women--known as the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action--in New York City. He also announced an $8.3 billion national agenda to promote gender equality, youth empowerment, and inclusive development.

"What was once a three-year moratorium will now become national law," he said.

The submitted bill must be passed by the legislature and forwarded to the Liberian Senate. When passed, it goes back to the president's office for signing into law.
