- Is it fully respected in your country today? THE RIGHT TO LIFE. I think it’s not respected in our country today, for example, in gendered violence, a lot of husbands kills their wife because they think that men are better and they can do all they want. Also there are a lot of people who committed crimes; they don’t have the right to take away the life of others.
