We hear people saying that women are the architects of society. They bloom under both sun and rain. Within them is the power to create, nurture, and transform. It breaks the heart of any human to know that even today women are disrespected and are subjected to violence by the male counterparts.
High time we realize that masculinity is definitely not dominating. It is rather in stepping together hand in hand from the old to the new. Violence against women is an epidemic. Overall a greater percentage of women experience violence. The times are indeed changing and many countries around the globe have made laws governing the status of women against domestic violence and sexual harassment.
History
The year 1960 on November 25 witnessed the brutal death of Mirabal sisters of the Democratic Republic at the hands of a henchman of the then-dictator. The authorities shamelessly made the death look like an accident. The death of these three sisters eventually laid inspiration stones for the day. Subsequently, it was in 1999, that the United Nations General Assembly assigned November 25 as International Day for the elimination of violence against women. The day occurs sixteen days prior to International Human Rights Day. United Nations claims that 19% of women in the age group of 15-49 are victims of contemptible violence. This results in a huge setback mentally, emotionally, and physically on the lives of women. These days are to remind the people of the necessity of such days and how crucial the issue this.
