Den internationale dag for afskaffelse af vold mod kvinder siden
1999. /
The International Day for the Elimination of Violence against
Women
'By resolution 54/134 of 17 December 1999, the United Nations
General Assembly designated 25 November as the International Day
for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and invited
governments, international organizations and NGOs to organize
activities designed to raise public awareness of the problem on
that day. Women's activists have marked 25 November as a day
against violence since 1981. This date came from the brutal
assassination in 1960, of the three Mirabal sisters, political
activists in the Dominican Republic, on orders of Dominican ruler
Rafael Trujillo (1930-1961).'
