Mutilación genital femenina, entre la cultura y los derechos humanos

The work sets out to analyze the culture-human rights relationship, based on the practice known as female ablation. It is necessary to examine whether, in the face of ablation, there is a correspondence between culture and human rights or, on the contrary, one of them, human rights, should be prioritized to protect the rights to life and sexuality of women whom they are practiced. The subject in reference was approached from the dialectical and logical methods, since they allow the theoretical and conceptual approach that leads to the understanding of the ablation from the cultural and legal aspects. The analysis concludes that the ablation injures the life and privacy of women, therefore, being a cultural event, it is contrary to the rights of women who are subjected to it without constation.
