Zonta District 24, secured a prominent location in Sydney for the yarnbombing initiative during the 16 Days of Activism. The site featured a grove of 15 palm trees overlooking Sydney Harbour, with stunning views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the international cruise ship wharf, and the promenade leading to the Sydney Opera House.

Sixteen of the District’s 24 clubs contributed by knitting and crocheting unique wraps for each of the 15 trees. The wraps, made in bright colors, with an emphasis on orange, were vibrant and attracted significant attention from international tourists and local residents. Many passersby stopped to take photos and shared them on social media.

Each tree displayed a poster highlighting different forms of domestic violence, offering information on where to seek help, and featuring a QR code linking to the District website. Several posters were translated into Arabic, Mandarin and Hindi to accommodate Sydney’s multicultural community.

The wraps are now being stored for future use, including a planned display on International Women’s Day at another location on Sydney Harbour. There are also hopes to secure permission to use them again for the 2025 16 Days of Activism.
