JANESVILLE – The Zonta Club of Janesville is participating in an international campaign, 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, to inspire action and end violence against women and girls.

The Zonta’s “I say NO to Gender-Based Violence” awareness campaign began Saturday, Nov. 25 and will continue until Sunday, Dec. 10.

In honor of the campaign, the pedestrian bridge at ARISE Town Square was lit orange from Nov. 25 to Nov. 30.

There’s also a silhouette outside of the Janesville Woman’s Club featuring messages about Gender-Based Violence.

“Violence has no place in our community. It needs to be eradicated,” Zonta Club president Cathy Myers said in a release. “We’re hoping to drive home that point through these activities.”

Club members will also engage in a social media campaign about the prevalence and impact of gender-based violence.
