Why We Do It

The existence of democracy in any country assumes, among many other things, that laws exist that recognize rights as well as obligations of all citizens. Beginning with the Constitution, which is the most important law of all, hundreds of other laws follow to protect citizens. In Nicaragua, there are hundreds of such laws.

One of the problems that make it difficult to apply all of these laws is that, many times, the population is unaware of, or not well acquainted with the rights and laws that exist for their well-being. For this reason, ACODEMA has created this website to contribute to Nicaraguan citizens´ knowledge about their consumer rights and to provide them with the tools and support to demand that their consumer rights are honored. We believe that this is one of the first steps for a strengthened democracy in Nicaragua because…

In order to defend them, one must know them well!
