ABSTRACT
An analysis of the sexual and reproductive rights in Panama as vital to the harmonious development of people. Its invisibility by the State through those who currently hold power, in action and omission, in restrictive interpretation of the norms that guarantee human dignity, brings tremendous violence against individuals and groups, which as a corollary have historically been discriminated and marginalized of the citizen’s exercise. Having a greater number of recognized and guaranteed sexual and reproductive rights includes eliminating the norms that violate fundamental rights and provides comprehensive sexuality education that, in the final analysis, provokes an update of the paradigms that have already been overcome. What it means to aim at the perfection of the integral formation of the personality in correspondence to the ideal of prosperous and sustainable development, to address fundamental challenges of poverty, inequality and violence, and “Do not leave anyone behind.”
