vishuddha:Today marks 50 years since the murder of Minerva, Maria Teresa, and Patria Mirabal. Heroines of the Dominican Republic for their bravery and revolutionary actions against the dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo. My fellow women of Salcedo, Republica Dominicana and exemplary heroines reminding us human rights are necessary and we should always fight for what is right. In 1999, the United Nations also marked today as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women in commemoration for the Mirabal Sisters.
