To commemorate International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, Eve Irvine is pleased to welcome Dr Ashley Morgan, Masculinities Scholar and Senior Lecturer in the School of Art and Design at Cardiff Metropolitan University. The day was established by the United Nations a quarter of a century ago. November 25th honours the legacy of the Mirabal sisters, three Dominican activists who were assassinated for their relentless fight for freedom and justice against the brutal regime of Rafael Trujillo. Since its inception, the day has inspired global campaigns to amplify women’s voices, advance women’s rights, and end violence against women worldwide.
