Domestic violence is very common , although is very bad is when in a family there are different kinds of violence, such as , verbal fights or physical fights , and someone is hurt. In different moments when parents scream to their kids or even just for a simple thing, like dissagrements. This kind of violence affects the feeling that families have and in a consequence of this problem, the Person who does it, hits other members of his/her family.
Domestic Violence affects principally to many women, because women’s right are less respected. For example…Always have less rights for example, two 30-year-old women from Mexico City recently suffered the consequences of intimate partner abuse, according to Communication and Information de la Mujer, Asociación Civil (CIMAC) and La Jornada. Around the world this violence affects many families, places where de man has more importance than the women for traditions and there are not laws that protect them.
In Costa Rica there are laws that protect all women in cases of violence (physical and emotional), in order to try to decrease the statistics of type of aggression. According to a population reference, Costa Rica has also formed a National Plan to Treat and Prevent Intra-Familiar Violence coordinated by the National Center for the Development of Women and the Family. It aims to provide an integrated system of services and actions to prevent domestic violence. This is an important step that Costa Rica has taken, because just few countries did create laws for the women.
On the other hand, domestic violence has led to bad for example Domestic Sexual Violence, like rapes that happen inside homes houses, between family members, where the victims are in silent because they have are afraid. Many cases but a few complaints are made, just for the principal thing that make the violence “fear” to show, to demonstrate the hurt.
As a conclusion, people need to learn about how to fight intelligently with the Domestic Violence, and to know that the silence increases this problem. Also to not be an insecure person, so it is important to take decisions and to find help of different ways that actually the society offers. And practice the most important value that a family should to have “communication”, so this will make a secure family .

yes, If we suspect someone is being abused, we should speak up, no matter if she or he denies its existence ,we have to offer help and express concern... As you said before: "the silence increases this problem"
ResponderEliminarCosta Rica it has an average protection through victims that suffer from this issue, but the aggressors when they become guilty go to jail and they are not cured about this sickness. I think it would be important to create a center in which only people who are sanctioned with this law could be in. Also once they are in this place, they should be checked that they are learning that they have a problem in which you can’t hit or punch or even scream your wife.
ResponderEliminarI like your opinion about this because you explain that the violence is not just to the intimate partner it affects the entire family too. The worst cases is when there are children in this families because they don't understand clearly what is happening and unfortunately they are not capable to inform to other people this kind of behavior because they think that this reaction is "normal".
ResponderEliminarThe consequences that violence can have in a person, family or in a society can not be measured.
ResponderEliminar"where the Victims are in silence because They Are silent afraid." This fear that you mention I think the concern is that if I say what are going to think the others. Or maybe by what people say and what happens next.
