The Mirabal Sisters
The Mirabal sisters were four Dominican sisters known commonly as Patria, Minerva, María Teresa, and Dedé, who opposed the dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo (El Jefe) and were involved in activities against his regime. Three of the four sisters (Patria, Minerva, María Teresa) were assassinated on 25 November 25th, 1960.
The assassinations turned the Mirabal sisters into “symbols of both popular and feminist resistance”. In 1999 the United Nations designated November 25th the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
