This day was established on November 25, 1999 by the United Nations (UN). The date of November 25 was chosen in memory of the three Mirabal sisters “the Mariposas”, Dominican activists violently murdered in 1960 on the orders of Rafael Trujillo, president of the Dominican Republic from 1930 to his death in 1961.
