The date was chosen to commemorate the deaths of the Mirabel Sisters in 1960. The sisters, Patria, Minerva and Maria Teresa had been actively opposed to the cruel and systematic violence of the Trujillo dictatorship regime in the Dominican Republic. Because of their activities they were brutally beaten to death and their bodies dumped at the foot of a high cliff to make it look like a motoring accident. They became symbols of feminist resistance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>25<\/b><b>th<\/b><b> November to 10<\/b><b>th<\/b><b> December annually<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The 16 Days of Activism between 25th November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, and 10th December, Human Rights Day were specifically chosen to link violence against women and human rights, and to emphasise that gender-based violence is a violation of human rights.
