The Zonta Club of Black Hills, USA, took a stand against domestic violence during the Zonta Says NO to Violence Against Women campaign, supported by a proclamation from Rapid City Mayor Jason Salamun. The proclamation underscored the importance of Zonta’s global advocacy efforts to eliminate violence against women and girls.

An intimate press conference was held as part of the campaign. Attendees included two women officers from the Sheriff’s Department specializing in domestic violence cases and Rapid City Police Chief Don Hedrick.

A letter to the editor of the Rapid City Journal was sent, urging the community to join the Zonta Says NO campaign and take collective action to combat violence.
