Gender violence is violence against women only because they are women. This violence discriminates against, ignores, subjects and subordinates women in different aspects of their existence. It is a material and symbolic attack that affects their freedom, dignity, security, privacy and moral and / or physical integrity . Although it is produced in very different spheres (family, work, formative…), it is particularly dramatic at home and in the scope of the couple, in which women are killed annually by their partners by the tens or hundreds in different countries of the world.

In December 1999 the General Assembly of the United Nations declared 25 November International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.

The origin of the November 25 date back to 1960, the year in which the three Mirabal sisters were brutally murdered in the Dominican Republic for their political activism. The sisters, known as the "Unforgettable Butterflies," became the leading exponent of the crisis of violence against women in Latin America.
