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.
Find out how many women have been assassinated by their sentimental partners this year in your country?

Hola a todos y a todas,

Me gustaría daros la bienvenida al que a partir de ahora será nuestro blog para las clases de inglés.

El objetivo principal de introducir esta nueva herramienta dentro del aula es ofreceros la oportunidad de tener un sitio donde poder publicar enlaces de interés, información o recursos necesarios para realizar proyectos y actividades y sobre todo tener un lugar donde poder compartir todos vuestros trabajos, redacciones y opiniones.

Para comenzar, os propongo que investiguéis el por qué he elegido “The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain” como título para este blog.

Saludos,

Beatriz
