The Zonta Club of Grand Island, USA, will kick off its 16 Days of Activism on Monday, 25 November, concluding on Tuesday, 10 December. This annual campaign, aligned with Zonta International’s Say No to Violence Against Women, calls for an end to violence against women worldwide. Zonta Club President Heidi Travagline announced that the Town Board will issue a proclamation supporting the campaign at its meeting on 18 November.

During the 16 Days of Activism, Zonta clubs are urged to take action locally, nationally and internationally to influence policy, change attitudes and end gender-based violence. The campaign, launched on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and concluding on Human Rights Day, was initiated by activists at the 1991 Women’s Global Leadership Institute and continues to be led by the Center for Women’s Global Leadership.
