International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women 2022: Greetings, Messages, Slogans, Motivational Quotes & more

Every year on November 25, there is a celebration of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Today is observed as a day of remembrance for the Mirabal sisters, Dominican Republic activists who were assassinated in 1960 at Rafael Trujillo's command. The United Nations wants to increase public awareness about violence against women based on their gender.

History

The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women was adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1979. (CEDAW). However, the issue of violence against women and girls continues to exist on a global scale. The General Assembly passed resolution 48/104 to address this problem and lay the groundwork for a world free of gender-based violence.

November 25 has been observed as a day to speak out against gender-based violence since 1981. The Mirabal sisters, three political activists from the Dominican Republic who were brutally murdered in 1960 on former president Rafael Trujillo's instruction, are commemorated on this day.

Significance

According to the official website of the UN, one of the most pervasive, ongoing, and devastating violations of human rights in the world, today is violence against women and girls (VAWG). The International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women is observed to increase public awareness of gender-based violence issues and to highlight the physical, sexual, and psychological manifestations of this type of violence.
