DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.. HURTS EVERYONE!

Domestic violence is a very common theme in our society, and it affects psychologically and physically not only to the victim, but also the entire family. According to Office of the Ombudsman, Costa Rica reports each year about 46 012 complaints of domestic violence, and only in march of this year quantifies a total of seven women murdered at the hands of their partners (People Daily, par.3 ). But this shows only the a little part about the real situation, because so many women are afraid to make the claim for fear of future attacks. For example in my family, my sister suffered domestic violence; it was only psychologically, and started with screams, words that make her feel less and others. She tried to hide it for fear but we clearly saw the situation. We kept long for many months, because her husband didn't let her to be with us. And we could not do anything in law because it wasn´t physically, and also because she didn't want to. So we all suffer in the process and mainly his daughter. Finally domestic violence is a very complicated problem, hard to live for the entire house, no matter the way of violence. We only can conceal and pray for this people, because they are the only ones that can stop it and do the right thing.
