You have often heard the slogan “Think globally – act locally.” This is the core of Zonta Clubs. Local clubs hold events and participate in activities that foster Zonta’s mission through:

  • Advocacy – communicating issues relating to women in our local area;
  • Service – helping with specific women’s issues in our local area by volunteering to help with everything from a home revamp for a disabled, elderly woman to gathering products for a local domestic violence shelter;
  • Fundraising events – donating proceeds to local scholarships, local women’s charities, and toward our Zonta International biennium projects.

 

Our global initiatives are to

End Child Marriage
Say No to Gender-based Violence
Close the Gender Gap in Education

Almost 650 million women alive today were married before turning 18.
About 2 in 3 women have experience physical and/or sexual violence from an intimate partner.
Every additional year of primary school increases girls’ eventual wages by 10-20%.
