The Federal Constitution of 1988 ensures dignity and sets it as one of the fundamental principles of the Federative Republic of Brazil.

Fighting against such violence protects moral integrity, approaching conceptually, more properly to the moral harassment institute, which is understood as a repeated humiliation towards to each other. This practice harms not only the direct victim of the violence, but damages the whole family, especially the children - children and youth  in growing stage. It is possible to understand, therefore, that the moral violence, besides violates the human dignity principle, violates also the responsible parenthood principle, concept that can be seeing in the Constitution of 1988. Bullying is a standard practice in homes and considering the difficulty of proving it, passes unnoticed, causing serious harm to the victims. Those damages include, but are not limited to, personality deviations, which can result in chronic damages due to its repetition, removing the victims dignity
