Paragraph text
From the public health perspective, the cumulative effect of a large number of "mild cases" generates a heavier burden for the health of population than a smaller number of "severe cases". The practice of tolerating and justifying milder forms of violence can pave the way to severe violations of human rights, which can amount to grave violations and even atrocities.
