Mirabal sisters
The Mirabal sisters, Patria, Minerva, and María Teresa, were prominent figures in the Dominican Republic's resistance against the dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo. Their courageous activism and ultimate assassination on November 25, 1960, became a symbol of the fight against gender-based violence and oppression. In honor of their legacy, this date is now recognized as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.
