Advocacy

Zonta Club of Indianpolis

Advocacy is our opportunity to provide a voice for those that are voiceless. Through our work as advocates, we are able to raise awareness in our communities about current issues affecting our women and girls. It is through this awareness that we are able to proactively stop future instances of violence against women.

What is Advocacy?

Zonta International’s Advocacy Definition:

“Advocacy is the expression of support for or opposition to a cause, argument or proposal. Advocacy may include influencing laws, legislation or attitudes.”

Zonta Clubs are urged to express themselves about and become involved in issues which:

improve the legal, political, economic, educational, health and professional status of women;
advance understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of executives in business and the professions; and
promote justice and universal respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms.

Zonta Clubs must remain nonpartisan and nonsectarian in advocacy action and on issues.

Awareness includes becoming educated about issues affecting the status of women as well as becoming educated about opportunities for legislative advocacy.
