Zonta Club Gladstone Says NO to violence against Women

Each year the Zonta Club Gladstone runs a local campaign for the 16 days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. The campaign begins on November 25th which is also the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and concludes on 10th December which is also Human Rights Day.  

Advocacy Chair of Zonta Club Gladstone, Robyn Liddell said that this year in Zonta’s Centennial Anniversary Biennium, the club has joined in a major international project to eliminate one of the worst obstacles girls are facing globally: early marriage. “As part of our activities this year, the members of Zonta Club Gladstone have been taking 6 free-standing Zonta orange silhouettes to various businesses/organisations during the 16 Days of Activism, to raise awareness about child marriage. We’ve been posting on our Facebook page about where they visit and we thank all the businesses and organisations who have taken a stand to say NO to violence against women,” Robyn said.
