The Zonta Club of Tuguegarao, Philippines, proudly joined the global Zonta Says NO campaign, part of the 16 Days of Activism against gender-based violence. The campaign launch focused on advocacy, with the club installing advocacy banners across key community locations in partnership with local government units, schools and agencies like the PNP Regional Office and DepEd.

The club also attended flag rites at Cagayan National High School and Teacher’s Anna the Apple Tree School, amplifying their message through LED displays at high-traffic locations like Mall of Valley. A proclamation by Lal-lo Mayor Florante Pascual designating 25 November as Zonta Says NO Day further highlighted the campaign’s significance.

The club renewed its partnership with Cagayan State University and the Commission on Population Development Regional Office II to enhance education and advocacy efforts. Collaborations with schools, government agencies and community organizations aim to foster action and create safer spaces for women and girls.
