Moreover, the authorities and the judiciary ignore it. Nevertheless, some previous experiences have proven, and in several cases, that raising awareness of the dangers of these violations on the individual and society had a relatively good effect, prompting local communities to adopt opposition to these violations and influence their surroundings to prevent their occurrence.
