Résumé :

Recognized as a practice deeply rooted in African cultural traditions, female genital mutilation continues to prevail despite the establishment of human rights frameworks intended to protect all individuals. Within the African context, this practice has historically been regarded as a taboo or even a myth, rendering its eradication particularly challenging. In an effort to highlight the detrimental health consequences of female genital mutilation on African women, Ghanaian author Annor Nimako endeavors to raise awareness through his literary creation Mutilated. Employing a deconstructive perspective, this study explores how Annor Nimako advocates for the unequivocal emancipation of African women from the constraints imposed by traditional norms. Keywords: human rights, mutilation, myth, taboo, tradition
