Different organisations plan to celebrate the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women (VAW) on Wednesday. It was on December 17, 1999 that UN's General Assembly through its resolution designated November 25 as the day for elimination of VAW and had invited governments, international organisations and NGOs to organise activities and raise public awareness about the issue.
Human Rights' activists have marked November 25 as a day against violence since 1981. This date came from the brutal assassination in 1960, of the three Mirabal sisters, political activists in the Dominican Republic, on orders of Dominican ruler Rafael Trujillo (1930-1961).
