The Mirabal sisters, known as the "Butterflies," were assassinated on November 25, 1960, in the Dominican Republic under the orders of the country's dictator, Rafael Trujillo. The sisters were active in the underground resistance against Trujillo's regime, and their murder was part of a broader campaign to silence dissent. Their deaths became a symbol of the struggle against oppression, and November 25 is now observed as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women in their honor.
