Presentation Transcript

  1. Focusing on Zonta’s Mission Zonta International seeks to improve the legal, political, economic, health, educational and professional status of women through service and advocacy. At the international level Zonta supports educational scholarships, violence prevention programs and international service projects with funding from the Zonta International Foundation. At the local level Clubs support Zonta’s mission through service and advocacy projects that serve the needs of women in their local communities.

  2. Identify and respond to local opportunities to prevent violence against women and advance women’s education, health care, legal rights and economic security. For example: What can you do in your community? • Work with local authorities to reform public policies to make neighbourhoods and campuses safer for women. • Increase women’s and girls’ access to local preventative health care programs (e.g., mammograms, vaccinations and Pap smears).

  3. What can you do in your community? • Support local HIV/AIDS testing, counseling and treatment programs for pregnant women. • Collaborate with local media, healthcare professionals and police officials to prevent and respond to violence against women. • Participate in the global 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence Campaign (25 November - 10 December).

  4. What can you do in your community? • Advocate for the implementation of local and national policies, laws and action plans on ending violence against women. • Mentor girls interested in fields in which women are under-represented. • Encourage women to apply for an AE Fellowship, JMK Scholarship or YWPA Award.
