Getting Ready for ZSN 2019

Whilst celebrating Zonta’s 100th Birthday we are also very aware that our 16 Days of Activism to through the Zonta Says No to Violence Against Women campaign starts at the end of the month.  For the month of November we have a display in the Bulimba Library to promote the campaign, our Club and our service activities.

It is also time to prepare (renew) our orange women, children and pet silhouettes which will be out and about in prominent locations to spread their message and provide information on the campaign and emergency contacts for anyone experiencing violence and seeking help.  A small working group spent the afternoon touching up the paint and signage to have them all ready for distribution in the coming weeks. In line with the Zonta International emphasis this biennum on child marriage our girl silhouettes will wear a veil and carry information on child marriage in Australia – yes even though illegal it does occur here and is not confined to overseas countries!!
