Students from Glasgow universities participated in a “Fight for the Night” march on 28 November, 2025 in Glasgow, Scotland. The march is part of the global 16 Days campaign, an annual international campaign aimed to end gender-based violence.
On 25 November 1960, the Mirabal Sisters (Patria, Minerva and María Teresa Mirabal) were assassinated for opposing the Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo, leading to an underground movement that exposed the systemic violence of Trujillo’s regime.
The Sisters have not only become national heroes in Dominican Republic, but also prominent symbols of feminism and social justice worldwide. In 1999, the United Nations General Assembly designated 25 November as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women in their honour.
