In looking at trauma can one define trauma as a human right issue? Is it okay to ascribe trauma as a situation which is been experienced by only the poor/low-income earners?
It could, however, Human rights violations and traumatic events often comingle in victims’ experiences; however, the human rights framework and trauma theory are rarely deployed together to illuminate such experiences.
I think there are many traumas that have nothing to do with human rights violations. I find it very difficult to justify an automatic connection between both concepts
TRAUMAS, both physical (Traumatology) and psychic (Psychopathology), as well as those of both causes together (Biopsychosocial) are linked to the HUMAN CONDITION and THEIR BECOMING; Therefore, they do not have to be corollaries or consequences of poverty or social class, nor do they have to be framed within the blessed umbrella of UNIVERSAL HUMAN RIGHTS: no point of such rights can free us or protect us from the sufferings that the vital events of pure existence In this way, how can we protect the multifactorial trauma suffered by a child due to the death of his parents in a traffic accident or because his mother dies prematurely, for whatever reason, etc.?). Another thing is that the wealthy classes can access better clinical and care resources to face them; but even THE CAPACITY OF RESILIENCE, as the parents of the term demonstrated, can emerge and develop successfully in any social class.
Many traumas are the consequence of human rights violations, but although poverty has been shown to be a risk factor for experiencing psychosocial stressors associated with traumatic conditions, conditions of injustice cannot be experienced only in poverty. kidnappings, captivity, or domestic violence are some examples of human rights violations that transcend the socioeconomic level
I believe trauma is definitely not exclusive to a certain financial class, or demographic culture. Trauma can be experienced by anyone. The degree of trauma or source varies and is not always a result of human rights, for example, a person witnessing massive destruction, or who experienced loss as a result of a natural disaster can and sometimes does result in substantial trauma. No one violated their rights, they are simply the unfortunate victim of Earth's rage. Other forms of trauma can come from witnessing a violent crime or being the victim of a violent crime. In the situation of being a witness, I feel it's a matter of opinion whether or not the witness's rights have been violated indirectly. In some cases, trauma is a result of emotional and mental abuse, whether from a partner or relative, these types of abuse are not considered to be crimes in the eyes of the Criminal Justice Department in the United States, although, I feel it is something that should be researched and taken into consideration, as these types of abuse can leave a much more long-lasting effect on the victim than a punch in the face can. Emotional, and mental abuse causes several different types of mental illness to develop if the abuse is for an extensive amount of time. The scars left behind can often be debilitating. However, none of these things are ever discussed or viewed as significant because society doesn't see the damage physically. It's much easier to prosecute someone when there is physical proof of the abuse, bruises, broken bones, etc. It's more difficult to prove abuse that doesn't leave a physical mark, but can and should it still be considered as a violation to our human rights? I believe it should, a human should have the right to be protected from having their mental stability damaged. Words do hurt, despite popular belief, especially when they are coming from a significant person of importance to an individual. Verbal abuse from a parent can have long-lasting effects on the child, these poorly impact the person's perception of the world, and it leads to unhealthy and sometimes dangerous behaviors, up to and including becoming a criminal.
