Peruvian Prime Minister Violeta Bermudez on Wednesday morning saluted the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
"On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, let's remember that all citizens can do something to eradicate it. I'm joining them," she wrote on Twitter.
A Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women
On 20 December 1993, the General Assembly adopted the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women through resolution 48/104, paving the path towards eradicating violence against women and girls worldwide.
Finally, on 7 February 2000, the General Assembly adopted resolution 54/134, officially designating November 25 as the International day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and, in doing so, inviting governments, international organizations, as well as NGOs to join together and organize activities designed to raise public awareness of the issue every year on that date.
