Why we celebrate International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women?

For several years now, people have been celebrating the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. It draws public attention to the problem of violence against women and girls. The aim of this day is to help eradicate this violence.

Violence against women and girls is intolerable and violates human rights. Many people remain silent about being subjected to violence. This has dire consequences. The emergence of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women stems from the violent deaths of the Mirabel sisters. They were murdered for taking part in the struggle to overthrow the regime of Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo. Their murder sparked the creation of a movement to combat violence against women. The activist movement gained a lot of support. In 1993, a Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women was adopted. In 2000, the UN proclaimed a resolution to commemorate the day.
