Tradição cultural e direitos humanos: os conflitos entre as tradições étnicas, o Estado e a sociedade civil na defesa dos direitos da criança e do adolescente em Guiné-Bissau.

Abstract

The aim of this work is focused on understanding the role of ethnicity disagreement considering their practice, namely marriage and the work of children and adolescents in disfavor of the State and NGOs working in defense of human rights in Africa and exceptionally Screen Partition of the Region (Guinea-Bissau). This ethnic group has its customs and practices based on their culture, allowing the work and marriage of children and adolescents. The state and NGOs argue that these practices are against the rights of children and adolescents in terms of their growth, leaving them out of school and without leisure. In this understanding, it is known that Africa is divided by different countries, regions and sectors composed of several ethnicities, cultures, races and customs. This cultural and ethnic diversity has influenced the political events since independence from the mainland. Many of the Africans fought to win independence, lent 'pan-Africanism' to strengthen their ideals and the OAU, now AU, ideology united the continent against the foreign yoke and gave independence to Africans.
