During the 16 Days of Activism Campaign to say NO to violence against women and girls, the Zonta Club of Dallas, USA, actively advocated at the Preston Royal Library. Club members greeted patrons in the library foyer, distributing informational materials about their causes. They handed out orange Zonta Says NO bracelets and custom-wrapped Hershey bars featuring the club’s information and a QR code linking to domestic violence facts.

The club also provided marketing materials about local agencies supporting women and victims of domestic violence, such as the Dallas Area Rape Crisis Center. Members took the opportunity to raise awareness about the club, sharing information about its activities and using the campaign as a friend-raising opportunity.

Most club members participated in the initiative, which successfully resulted in recruiting two new members. The club expressed gratitude to the library for hosting their efforts throughout the 16 Days and was thrilled to learn that additional library branches in the area are interested in partnering next year.
