International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women

"Everyone has a responsibility to prevent and end violence against women and girls, starting by challenging the culture of discrimination that allows it to continue."
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon

From 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, to 10 December, Human Rights Day, the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence Campaign is a time to galvanize action to end violence against women and girls around the world.



This year, the United Nations Secretary-General’s Campaign UNiTE to End Violence against Womeninvites you to “Orange YOUR Neighbourhood.” Take the UNiTE campaign to local streets, shops and businesses, and organize “Orange Events” in your own neighbourhoods between 25 November and 10 December 2014. 
 Reach out to your neighbours, local stores, food-sellers on the corner of your street, gas stations, local cinemas, barbers, schools, libraries and post offices!  Project orange lights and hang orange flags onto local landmarks, tie orange ribbons where you are allowed, and organize local ‘orange marches’ on 25 November to raise awareness about violence against women and discuss solutions that would work for your community.

The date of 25 November was chosen to commemorate the Mirabal sisters, three political activists from the Dominican Republic, who were brutally assassinated in 1960 during the Rafael Trujillo dictatorship (1930-1961)

Halloween Vocabulary Quiz

Sometines we try to define a word in class instead of translating it directly into Spanish. This game looks a bit childish but it will help you to learn how to describe something in English without saying the defined word, if you read carefully the definitions and try to learn from them.



And here you have a challenge! Can you write 8 different words using the letters in HALLOWEEN? Read the instructions very carefully, you can't use a letter more times than the number of times it is in the word.

This is Halloween

Here you have the video to practise the lyrics as we've been learning them at school. If the subtitles don't appear, click on the wheel at the bottom of the screen and choose "subtitles: english" It's been quite hard to edit it and to add the subtitles for me as it was my first time working on You Tube. I hope you enjoy it!!
