Family violence against children

As a founding principle of the Federal Constitution the principle of dignity of the human person acts to ensure the full development of dignity and personality of all human persons who make up the family entity although from a social point of view there is so much violation of the principle especially children and adolescents. The child has the right to life which is the most essential right because without life there is no existence. Life is protected from conception ensuring the due protection to the unborn child. But the right to life should also be understood as the right to a dignified life and to a free life. The child also possesses the personality right to physical integrity which protects him/her against injuries to body and mind. Physical psychological and sexual violence violate the personality right to integrity. Within the family these rights cannot be violated through violence as it is the family that assumes together with the State and society the role of guarantor.
