Sexual education 2010, para. 64

Paragraph
Paragraph text
In the Special Rapporteur's view, sexual education constitutes a domain in which rights are exercised and, consequently, in which they can also be violated. An example of this is the violence suffered by women subjected to genital mutilation, an aberrant practice supposedly justified by tradition that constitutes a terrible act of violence and violation against women, who find themselves invaded and mutilated and whose physical integrity, health and right to pleasure are denied.
