Women Illawarra and Illawarra Women's Health Centre invite you to attend a vigil in McCabe Park Wollongong to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women on Tuesday the 25th November 2025 at 1pm. Women's rights activists have observed 25 November as a day against gender-based violence since 1981. This date was selected to honour the Mirabal sisters, three political activists from the Dominican Republic who were brutally murdered in 1960 by order of the country’s ruler, Rafael Trujillo (1930-1961).
A worldwide movement, this day represents an ongoing invitation to governments, international organisations as well as NGOs to annually join together and organise activities designed to raise public awareness of the issue of violence against women.
We will be holding a vigil to honour those lost to gendered violence in 2025. Join us to ensure that the voices of those who have been silenced do not go unheard. #stopviolenceagainstwomen
Please join us. #stopviolenceagainstwomen #16Days2025
