AJR 111 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Designates November 25 of each year as the "Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women in New Jersey."

AJR 111 designates November 25 each year as "Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women in New Jersey." The bill requires the Governor to issue an annual proclamation urging public officials and citizens to observe the day with awareness activities. It directly affects New Jersey residents by establishing a formal day for community education and advocacy efforts focused on preventing violence against women. The resolution aligns with the UN's International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, using symbolic recognition to promote awareness of domestic violence issues highlighted by state data (e.g., 63,420 domestic violence offenses reported in NJ in 2016, 74% involving female victims).
