25th November: International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women

Today we celebrate the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.




 
Women’s activists have marked 25 November 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).

In our school we organize activities to raise public awareness of the problem on that day.

Listen to these sad songs by Christina Aguilera “I’m OK” and “Oh mother”. She tells a true story about herself. She had to live a painful childhood with her father beating her mum.
