We are moved that the General Assembly of the United Nations designated November 25th as an international day for the elimination of violence against women, to honor the Mirabal Sisters: Patria, Minerva and María Teresa, political activists from the Dominican Republic that fought for democracy and freedom during the dictatorship of Rafael L. Trujillo (1930-1961) and were brutally killed in 1960 under his orders. Our firm is deeply touched by this gesture, having represented the Mirabal family in court during this tragic episode in their lives.
