MEJIA CURIEL, Erotida Beatriz. Malnutrition in children of the Wayuu ethnicity: among the ethical, the unique and the relevant . Rev.Med.Electrón. [online]. 2017, vol.39, suppl.1, pp.803-812. ISSN 1684-1824.

Malnutrition has claimed the lives of a great quantity of children of the Wayuu ethnicity, who live in La Guajira department, in Colombia. This situation has existed for a long time without the action of the decision makers or the social society to solve the problem, showing total indifference and lack of solidarity.  In the country in general and particularly in La Guajira, it is evident the violation of the rights of the children as subjects that are in the formation process at that moment of their lives, and whose future could not be granted without their participation and the support of their families, their communities, the civilian organizations and the State institutions.  It is important the society’s solidarity, because native people require answers and attention, taking into account ethical consideration. There are many people asking for making effective the rights that are so widely proclaimed by different means and have become just dreams, because they are another thing in real life.

Palavras-chave : malnutrition; children; ethics; rights.
