About International Day to Eliminate Violence Against Women

DESCRIPTION:
International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women is a United Nations-sponsored event held annually on the anniversary of the assassination of the three Mirabel sisters in the Dominican Republic on November 25, 1960. The sisters were staunch advocates of women's rights and were executed on the orders of then-ruler Rafael Trujillo.
Violence against women is the most extreme form of discrimination. From 2005 to 2016, for 87 countries, 19 percent of women between 15 and 49 years of age said they had experienced physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner in the previous year. Extreme cases often lead to death. In 2012, almost half of all women who were victims of intentional homicide were killed by an intimate partner or family member, compared to six percent of male victims.
Another extreme case of violence against women is female genital mutilation. This practice has declined by 24 percent since 2000 but remains high in 30 countries with representative data. In those countries, a 2015 survey indicated that more than one in three girls between 15 and 19 years of age has undergone the procedure decreased from one in two girls before 2000.
Moreover, only over half (52 percent) of women between 15 and 49 years of age who are married or in a relationship make their own decisions about consensual sexual relations and contraceptives and health services based on available data from around 2012 for 45 countries, 43 of which are in developing regions.
Research also shows that achieving gender equality helps prevent conflict, and high rates of violence against women correlate with outbreaks of conflict. Despite the evidence, actions for women's inclusion, leadership, and protection remain inadequate. In some areas, there has even been a rollback in progress.
