International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women raises awareness of gender-based violence and calls for prevention, support, justice, and equality. The day also honours the Mirabal sisters of the Dominican Republic, whose deaths became a symbol of resistance against violence and oppression.

Event Suggestions:
• Share age-appropriate resources on respect, safety, and support services
• Create an awareness display about equality and preventing gender-based violence
• Discuss how communities can promote respectful relationships and bystander action
