Abstract

Violation of human rights; Sexual and reproductive rights, to life itself, to an education and to a protected childhood, are those that have been attacked and violated by committing female genital mutilation. Female ablation in Africa is a sad reality that has been lived for a long time which passes for entire generations and is considered normal and should happen when the girl is considered to be fit to be a little woman, at the when this is taken for granted, women / girls suffer at the time the ablation is performed; cutting their genitals, causes them either trauma from the moment such as problems when growing up, infections and impediments to carry out their life normally, without a doubt it becomes a health and rights problem that concerns us worldwide and should matter to us, since as We can infer that a large number of rights are violated, either for religious reasons or only for culture, we have to be able to empathize with these people and put into practice different ways so that these women and girls can be placed in a healthy place so that this does not keep happening and thus affecting the vast majority of women and girls.
