November 25, 2024 International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women messages

WHAT IS THE INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR THE ELIMINATION OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN?

November 25 was declared the "International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women" by the United Nations in 1999. This date was chosen in memory of the Mirabal sisters, who were brutally murdered in 1960 for resisting the dictator Rafael Trujillo's regime in the Dominican Republic.

The International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women serves as a call to action to draw attention to all discriminatory practices against women, such as physical, psychological, sexual, and economic violence, and to eradicate this violence.

Every year on November 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women is commemorated worldwide with various events and campaigns to raise awareness among the public.

The Women and Democracy Association (KADEM) organizes campaigns every year on November 25 to increase sensitivity against violence against women.

For this reason, standing against violence against women on November 25 and every day of the year is a requirement of human rights advocacy.
