International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women
The General Assembly has designated 25 November as the International
Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and has invited
governments, international organizations and non-governmental
organizations to organize on that day activities to raise public
awareness on the problem (resolution 54/134 of 17 December 1999).
Women’s activists have marked 25 November as a day against violence
since 1981. The date came from the brutal 1961 assassination of the
three Mirabal sisters, political activists in the Dominican Republic,
on orders of Dominican ruler Rafael Trujillo. |

 One in three women will suffer some form of violence in her lifetime, becoming part of an epidemic that devastates lives, fractures communities and stalls development. Despite some progress on this issue over the past decade, its horrendous scale remains mostly unacknowledged. New dimensions include the global trafficking of women and girls. ~ UNIFEM http://www.unifem.org/gender_issues/violence_against_women |
