NPC 1 Domestic Violence

Domestic violence is in our society since the beginning of everything, but can we stop this now?

Over the years the world has been learning how to respect people rights, sex, ethnicity, believes… but, violence at home is still a problem. Most of the time, violence victims remain quiet because they are afraid about how to continue without “this person” who provides the basic support of the house, or doubts, about leaving their children without an important member of the family, for example a parent or a brother. Because of that, it is necessary to demonstrate these people how capable they are to step out the aggression situation, and most important, show them that the power to get over the bad days is all into themselves. A beautiful example of this is the story of Felicia; she married a successful and well educated man but she did not had, even the primary school, so he used to humiliate her because the difference of education between them, her husband was an alcoholic too; every time he gets drunk she “steal” money from his wallet in order to use it to pay her scholarship, one day she came to her husband and said -Do not make any plan for tomorrow night, it is my graduation at the university- as you can imagine her husband was shocked and a kind of nonbeliever, the night after they went to the graduation and since this day and after 5 years of bad days, they started living a beautiful and plenty marriage without humiliation or alcoholism. This happened 25 years ago and now Felicia is the principal of one of the biggest High Schools in Heredia. Sometimes, the victims of domestic violence do not notice that bravery and trust in themselves is what they need to start doing something and solve the problems, so if you know someone on this situation, start from there… let them know. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJF50kwwRJE&feature=related
