By resolution 54/134 of 17 December 1999, the General Assembly designated 25 November as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and invited governments, international organizations and NGOs [non-governmental organizations] to organize activities designated to raise public awareness of the problem on that day. Women's activists have marked 25 November as a day against violence since 1981. The date came from the brutal assassination in 1960, of three Mirabel sisters, political activists in the Dominican Republic, on orders of Dominican ruler Rafael Trujillo. 1, record 2, English, - International%20Day%20for%20the%20Elimination%20of%20Violence%20against%20Women
