Orange the world
Zonta Club of Halle-Pajottenland, Belgium, launched a striking visual campaign by adorning about twenty statues across the region with orange scarves, each handmade by members and supporters. Attached to every scarf was a flyer urging an end to violence against women, along with contact details for helpline 1712, a confidential and free service providing information and support for those affected by violence, abuse or child maltreatment.

Empowering women through self-defense
The club also hosted a free self-defense workshop for twenty women in the region, equipping participants with practical techniques to protect themselves in situations of physical violence. Instructors from the Black Eagle Halle Kung Fu club guided attendees through hands-on training, empowering them to act confidently and effectively in threatening situations.

These initiatives underscore Zonta Halle-Pajottenland’s commitment to raising awareness and fostering resilience in the fight against violence.
