Zonta Clubs around the world unite for 16 Days of Activism, 25 November to 10 December each year, to highlight the Zonta International Campaign to eliminate violence against women and girls. 25 November each year is the United Nations Day for the elimination of violence against women and 10 December, United Nations Day for Human Rights

In the lead up to and during the 16 days of action, clubs take to the streets of their neighbourhoods, towns and cities organising a wide range of “orange events” to emphasize the importance of individual and community activism to end violence

WHY THE COLOUR “ORANGE”?

The United Nations Secretary-General’s Campaign UNiTE to End Violence against Women has proclaimed the 25th of each month as ‘Orange Day’, a day to raise awareness and take action against violence against women and girls.

WHAT ARE THE KEY MESSAGES OF THE CAMPAIGN?

  • Both men and women experience substantial levels of violence;
  • Domestic, Family and sexual violence is overwhelmingly committed by men against women;
  • The majority of people who experience domestic violence are women; and
  • DV knows no boundaries and occurs in all strata of society.

We need to change our attitude about women and our behaviour to build respectful and positive relationships.

2023 ZONTA SAYS NO (ZSN) CAMPAIGN  ACTIVITIES BY DISTRICT 22 CLUBS

In 2023 Clubs across District 22 undertook many and varied activities to support the campaign.  Activities included displaying large ZSN banners in prominent positions, lighting infrastructure orange, placement of “Orange” women (plywood cut outs) in prominent locations e.g. businesses, ferry terminals, libraries etc (these silhouettes have information on violence against women as well as safety information for victims of domestic violence) holding function with special guests speakers, seeking publicity in local media and conducting a major social media campaign.  The social media campaign showcased Club activities and provided information and statistics on the incidence of domestic and family violence and the support services available to victims of violence.

Clubs are congratulated on their achievements during the 16 Days of Activism.

During and in the lead-up to the 16 Days of Activism Zontians issued press releases and received media attention via interview and articles in the press and a pod cast. A webinar was also open and open to the public.  All Clubs were active on social media posting statistical and general information on domestic and family violence in Australia. Examples of the coverage are below:

Since 2017 Zonta Clubs in the southeast corner have had a Committee to coordinate and promote actions.  The first major initiative was to arrange a walk around the Brisbane CBD to view the infrastructure lit orange.  The walk, organised by the Zonta Club of Brisbane Sunrise Inc, lasts from between 30 minutes (short version) to a longer walk lasting about 90 minutes allowing for photo opportunities.  The walk is open to all Zontians, friends and family and is followed by an informal fellowship activity.  Numbers have grown each year.
