Tal día como hoy «Asesinato de las Hermanas Mirabal por el régimen del dictador dominicano Rafael Trujillo»

25 de noviembre de 1960: Las hermanas Patria, Minerva y María Teresa Mirabal —conocidas como Las Mariposas— fueron brutalmente asesinadas por agentes del régimen del dictador Rafael Trujillo en República Dominicana.

Activistas contra la tiranía, lucharon por la libertad, la justicia y los derechos humanos en un país oprimido por el miedo. Su asesinato no las silenció: las convirtió en símbolo global de resistencia feminista.

En su honor, la ONU declaró el 25 de noviembre como el Día Internacional de la Eliminación de la Violencia contra la Mujer.

🕊️ “No temo a los tiranos, porque mi causa es justa.”
— Minerva Mirabal

Today in Labor History October 2, 1937: Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo ordered the execution of Haitians living in the border region of the Dominican Republic, resulting in the genocidal Parsley massacre of up to 35,000 Haitians. Trujillo was obsessed with race. He’d use pancake make-up to lighten his own skin color and hide his Haitian roots. And even so, the wealthy Dominicans still snubbed him for his working-class family origins. One week prior to the massacre, he publicly accepted a gift of Hitler’s Mein Kampf, whose racial theories he clearly embraced. He used racism to distract Dominicans from their poverty, which had been exacerbated by the Great Depression, and by Trujillo’s corrupt rule. Edwidge Danticat’s historical fiction, “The Farming of Bones,” takes place during the time of the massacre.
