Gender prejudice has since forever been fuelling acts of violence against women and girls all over the globe. Thus, more effort is required from every nation to guarantee that women enjoy a life free of abuse and compulsion. Under the global theme “Orange the World: End Violence against Women Now!” the UN is marking the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, from 25th of November to 10th of December. International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, an international day observed on November 25 annually to raise awareness about ending the violence against women. The UN notes the date is in remembrance of the three political activists in the Dominican Republic, the Mirabal sisters, who were killed on this day in 1950 on the orders of the country's ruler who they opposed, Rafael Trujillo.
