Nov 25th, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women

" In November every year, we celebrate another important date, as 25 November marks the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. This date is followed by a period of sixteen days of action, ending on 10 December, during which Bahá‟í communities are invited to support the efforts of the many groups and individuals carrying out positive actions for the elimination of the various forms of violence against women and girls. The elimination of violence remains a major concern of the United Nations and of the many national and international organizations working towards the establishment of justice and equity, particularly between women and men."

“Women have equal rights with men upon earth; in religion and society they are a very important element.” Abdu‟l Baha
