One of the most basic human rights is the right to live and a government has a duty to protect the lives of its people.
In other words, it should not harm people because of their religious beliefs, race, or any other attributes about them.
Now, when a nation does not value its people's right to live, tensions start growing really fast and lives are at risk. A perfect example of this was during World War II when the Nazi government killed nearly 6 million Jews which we know as the holocaust which is a systematic way of killing a group. In addition, there were about 1.5 million Armenians that died in the early 1900s when they were targeted by the government of Turkey. Both of these examples are genocides that violate the right to live and also other rights as well such as freedom of torture, rights to basic needs, etc...
In Ancient Rome, in year 195 BC, the women took the streets of Rome in a demonstration which the aim of protesting against laws they considered unfair. It was a shocking event, due to the fact that it was taking place in the heart of a very rigid patriarchal society.
Austerity measures had been implemented after the Punic war, and in this specific case they were protecting against the<em> lex Oppia </em>which limited the amount oflex Oppia money that women could spent in adornment and finery. As women did not participe on Roman public political or economic life, these limitations on the physical appearance limited the few oportunities they had to proclaim their identity and social status.
An important consequence of the protest was that it created a precedent, and Roman women used this protest format as the way to keep their rights guaranteed and their voices heard.
A woman on her own could not have achieve such a thing, in the Roman society in which women had no voice, but the union of many women did.
