The choice of November 25 as the date of the international fight against violence on women
was an agreement made by participants at the Latin American and Caribbean Feminist was realized in Bogota in 1981, accepting the request of the Delegation of the Dominican Republic, which proposed that this will render tribute to the Mirabal sisters, Minerva, Patria and Maria Teresa, tortured, raped and killed by military intelligence of Santo Domingo in 1960 under the dictatorship of Trujillo, for wanting to visit political prisoners.
DATA OF SHAME: 6 MILLION 743 THOUSAND WOMEN IN ITALY BETWEEN 16 AND 70 YEARS HAVE SUFFERED IN THE COURSE OF LIFE A physical or sexual violence.
Violence against women has many faces: the killings and rapes are the most dramatic aspects of the violence inside and outside the home, at work, on the streets. It is the leading cause of death among women worldwide.
Millions of women worldwide are terrorized by domestic violence, enslaved in marriage forced labor, bought and sold to feed the market of prostitution, or raped as trophies of war tortured in detention.
Every year on November 25th is an opportunity to promote reflection on violence against women and create a collective consciousness.
