UN’s International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women & 16 Days of Activism November 26, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — stoat @ 10:29 pm

Yesterday was the UN’s International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women! I’m a bit behind with this, but not too late in fact:

The 16 Days of Activism against Gender Violence (25 November – 10 December) is an annual campaign that is symbolic of the global women’s movement and end-violence networks. Its starting day, 25 November, is observed each year to honour the Mirabal sisters, three political activists from the Dominican Republic who were assassinated on the same date in 1961. The end of the 16 Days is marked by 10 December, International Human Rights Day.

This site want’s to know about the events and activities you might be organising!
