Zonta Says No Campaign 2016
The Rockhampton Club is once again taking part in the 16 days of Activism campaign.
A very enjoyable & successful White Ribbon Day Dinner was hosted by the QPS on Friday 25th November. The 16 Days of Activism Campaign was launched by Zonta Club of Rockhampton President, Judie Pettitt. Guests heard an inspiring Q and A session with Superintendent Ron Van Saane and a most interesting presentation by Magistrate Colin Strohfeld about the progress in the last year with the trial DV Court at Southport. An amazing $14,500 was raised for local DV services. “Orange Women” are spreading various messages about eliminating violence against women and girls, 16 Days of Activism and Zonta Says NO to Violence Against Women, with varying issues being featured on each “Orange Woman”.
Our “Orange Women” and “Orange Men” are stepping out in Yeppoon to highlight the 16 Days of Activism campaign.
