The Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women was made by the United Nations General Assembly in

1981

1993

1988

1979

Explanation:

Let’s break down what’s going on with these options:

- Option 1: 1981

- Not correct. 1981 is when the UN marked the first International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, but it did not issue the declaration then.

- Option 2: 1993

- This is the right answer. In 1993, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women, making a strong and clear statement about women’s rights worldwide.

- Option 3: 1988

- Not the one. Nothing major regarding this declaration happened in ’88.

- Option 4: 1979

- Important year for women’s rights, but different document. That’s when the UN adopted CEDAW (Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women).

So yes, Option 2—1993—is spot on.
