Answer 2

The right answer is victim.

Violence is the use of force or power, physical or psychic, to constrain, dominate, kill, destroy or damage. It involves blows, injuries, suffering, or the destruction of human property or natural elements.

According to WHO, violence is the intentional use of physical force, threats to others or to oneself, against a group or community, which causes or is likely to cause trauma, psychological damage, developmental problems or death.

Beyond death and injury, widespread forms of violence (such as child abuse and domestic violence) result in serious non-physical injuries for life. These victims may engage in risky behaviors such as alcohol use and narcotics use, smoking and unsafe sex, which can contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease. cancer, depression, diabetes and the AIDS virus or other diseases leading to premature death.

In countries with high levels of violence, economic growth can be slowed down, security degraded and social development hindered. Families gradually emerging from poverty and investing in their children's education can be ruined by the violent death or severe disability of the main family figure generating resources. Communities can be trapped in poverty, where ubiquitous violence and precariousness form a vicious circle that stifles economic growth. For companies, covering expenses directly related to the costs of health, justice and social protection resulting from violence prevents governments from investing in more constructive social measures. Most of the indirect costs of violence resulting from lost productivity and investment in lost education all contribute to slowing economic growth, further drawing socio-economic divides and degrading human and social capital.
