Rockhampton Club donates to Sexual Assault Support Centre

The Zonta Club of Rockhampton has joined with the Rockhampton Police Service to support women and girls who are victims of sexual assault. Zonta Service Coordinator Meredith Sutherland met with Senior Constable Mel Winslade, a Domestic and Family Violence Officer, to deliver items of clothing to Rockhampton Police for delivery to sexual assault victims. The need is monitored and restocking takes place regularly. This Rockhampton Club project has been in place for a number of years.

The Rockhampton Club, as with all Zonta Clubs worldwide, strives to promote and protect the human rights of all women and girls through the program, Zonta International Strategies to End Violence Against Women (ZISVAW). The program works to increase awareness and actions which are related to preventing violence against women. Involvement in local and national advocacy initiatives and local and international service projects is encouraged.

From the warm welcome to Mackay by Mayor Williamson and Aunty Pat Corrie to the final business closure on Sunday 10 September, delegates and guests enjoyed the guest speakers, the several presentations by our education award winners, our Zonta International Representative Annika from Sweden and the Zonta spirit generated by many Zontians being and working together for the future of District 22. Congratulations to the newly elected Board Members and Nominating Committee, as well as to the many first-time Conference delegates who participated in the business sessions. Thanks also to the Zontians of Mackay who hosted the event and to the Organising Committee for their months of planning to deliver a happy and productive District Conference. The District Conference 2025 will be held in Mount Isa. In the meantime the 2024 Zonta International Convention in Brisbane will be the next major event to which we look forward.
