Aproximación jurídica a la ablación femenina en el pueblo indígena Embera Chami en Colombia, desde la perspectiva de los derechos humanos

Abstract

The objective with the present essay is to achieve an approach, from the point of view of Human Rights, to the subject of the AGF. For this purpose It’s proposed to examine three aspects: 1) It examines the legal and social component in which We are going to present the impact of the AGF on the Embera Chamí indigenous people in Colombia. 2) The gender perspective on an interpretation achieved from the conception of the special indigenous jurisdiction, which seems to obscure the particular rights of women and girls as women and girls, will be highlighted. 3) It is concluded that although the AGF within indigenous communities is part of the tradition and its culture, It is also that from international instances this practice is condemned as an irreparable and irreversible evil in the integrity of women and girls.
