Liberia’s Vice President, Chief Nyesuahkoko Jewel Howard Taylor, says the Domestic Violence Bill is dear to her heart for the second session of the 54^th Legislature.

Madam Taylor said the issue of girls ignorantly being initiated into harmful traditional practices must stop.

According to her, they as women’s rights advocates want to see a Liberia where girls who are of the age of consent (18 years and above) will willingly choose to be initiated into the Sande society without being harassed or forced against their will and below the age of knowledge of consent.
