Current Affairs - Important Days - Discussion

November 25 is marked annually as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. It was officially designated by the United Nations 25 years ago and aims to raise awareness about gender-based violence, a prevalent human rights violation. The date honours the Mirabal sisters, political activists from the Dominican Republic who were murdered on November 25, 1960, under Rafael Trujillo's regime. Observances include global campaigns such as the 16 Days of Activism, advocating for policy reforms and public engagement to combat violence against women.
