#ViolenceAgainstWomen: World Observes 'International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women'

About 1 in 3 women has experienced physical or sexual violence, mostly by an intimate partner.
November 25 has been chosen as an International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.
This date commemorates the Mirabal sisters, three Dominican women who were murdered in 1960 for opposing dictator Rafael Trujillo.
 
From now until December 10, which is Human Rights Day, the United Nations is calling for 16 days of activism against gender-based violence.
