Remember 25th of November



25th of November is international day for the elimination of violence against women. Three sisters (Mirabel sisters) in Dominican Republic started this movement on 1960 against dictator Rafael Trujillo. On November 25, 1981, American women's activists had remarked this day as a day for fighting violence against women. This day officially became international day from December 1999 by the UN and designed to aware people about women's rights and their problem in the society. Rape, sex harassment at workplace, and domestic violence are common forms of violence against women.
Women aid made this short and at the same time influential film to aware people about violence against women. As they mentioned at the end of the movie, two women die each week because of domestic violence. ISN'T IT TIME TO SAVE THESE WOMENS' LIFE? WHAT CAN WE DO TO SAVE THEM?

  1. I agree with you Hamideh, It is time that somebody stop violence against women, specially domestic violence with no record for them. Violent in Africa is hidden and there is no statistic and official documents for it. So I think the UN should regulate more laws for it.
