To mark November 25 and the start of the 16 Days of Activism to End Violence Against Women, WILPF Canada has launched this graphic: Fighter jets aren’t feminist. Warplanes are vehicles of violence. Orange the world and help end violence and war. Post it on your social media and share it. You can follow us on Facebook and Instagram #IDEVAW. Did you know that in 2000, the United Nations General Assembly finally designated November 25 as International Day for Elimination of Violence against Women in honour of the Mirabel sisters who were killed by the US-trained & supported dictator Rafael Trujillo in the Dominican Republic in 1960?
