About This Project

In 1999, the United Nations Organization established this day, as a vindication initiated by Latin American feminism in memory of the Mirabal sisters. Minerva, Patria and María Teresa were assassinated in 1960 by the Rafael Trujillo dictatorship in the Dominican Republic. The objective of this day is not only to call attention to inequality, discrimination and the different forms of male violence, but also to demand the implementation of public policies to prevent and eradicate this problem.
