Domestic violence

When we talk about domestic violence, we must take into account not only the physical but psychological abuse. The people who suffer from domestic violence have very low self-esteem, depression and are very timid. Today the domestic violence cases are very common in Costa Rica, is something that can happen and indeed sometimes happens to people who consider themselves religious and cultured in society and of the best family, because this is a condition psychological that must be treated by professionals.

In Costa Rica there is the law on the criminalization of violence against women, which helps women suffering from violence, their homes, but this is not an impediment to more women suffer daily violence and death.

I think we should raise awareness and promote better education for our children, this in order to avoid the future violence in our homes.
