Women Human Rights Defenders (WHRDs) from around the globe gathered in Colombo, Sri Lanka and declared this day as theirs. November 29th therefore became the International Day of Women Human Rights Defenders, and was celebrated this year all over the world in recognition of the courageous work that they do to

defend their own and other women’s rights. Historically, women have played key roles in all social and political movements around the globe.
