Violence

People are protected by rights and obligations that they have to give respect no matter the age, sex, religion or ethnicity. The obligation to protect these rights requires states to prevent abuses of the same against individuals and groups. The obligation to fulfill means that States must take positive measures to facilitate the enjoyment of basic human rights. At the individual level, and we must respect our rights, we must also respect the human rights of others.

Human rights are against all forms of discrimination towards people. Here in Costa Rica domestic violence has been increasing daily. With which we must be clear and stress that are not being respected as the law promotes. The downside of all this that does not respect human rights is that it produces a very significant change in society and this is reflected in the behavior of individuals.

Domestic violence is one of the most serious problems facing our society at this time. People fail to understand that our lives are worth too much to try to eliminate this evil that is invading every time our families. What starts with shouts or shocks may result in death. That is why it is important that all citizens know that in Costa Rica, domestic violence is punished because it violates human rights. Violence is a practice that is not justified under any circumstance and against the socially accepted norms of coexistence, and we must understand that no one is superior to another or another person.
