The correct answer is C. 25 November.
International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women is observed annually on 25 November. It was designated by the United Nations General Assembly in 1999 as a day to raise awareness of the issue of violence against women and to call for its elimination.
The date of 25 November was chosen to commemorate the 1960 assassination of three Mirabal sisters, political activists in the Dominican Republic, who were killed by the country’s dictator, Rafael Trujillo.
Violence against women is a global problem that affects women of all ages, races, religions, and socioeconomic backgrounds. It can take many forms, including physical, sexual, emotional, and economic abuse.
The UN estimates that one in three women will experience physical or sexual violence in her lifetime. Violence against women can have devastating consequences for women’s health, well-being, and economic security.
There are many things that can be done to prevent violence against women. These include:
- Raising awareness of the issue
- Providing education and training on violence prevention
- Providing support services for victims of violence
- Enacting laws that protect women from violence
Everyone can play a role in preventing violence against women. By raising awareness, speaking out against violence, and supporting victims, we can make a difference.
