Atty. Philomena T. Williams, president of the Association of Female Lawyers of Liberia (AFLL), has launched a passionate appeal for lawmakers here to criminalize the practice of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).

Speaking recently at the third annual convention of the Liberia National Bar Association (LNBA), Atty. Williams described FGM as demonic, evil, and wicked.

She stressed that AFELL will continue to stand against the practice and fight for the protection of all women, children, and girls.
