International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women




Women's activists have marked November 25 as a day to fight violence against women since 1981. The UN invited governments, international organizations and NGOs to organize activities designated to raise public awareness of the problem. Women around the world are subject to rape, domestic violence and other forms of violence.
This date came from the brutal assassination in 1960 of the three
Mirabal sisters, political activists in the Dominican Republic, on orders of Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo (1930–1961). From wikipedia.
