The Zonta Club of Bunbury Inc, Australia, actively participated in the 16 Days of Activism by hosting several advocacy events. Among these efforts, the club’s affiliated Kingia Z club crafted 2,000 white ribbons for distribution at the Bunbury Silent March and the Bridgetown and Bunbury Markets. The Silent March united local organizations, police and government agencies as they walked through Bunbury’s streets, concluding with a rally in the town square.

The club also organized a “Respect Art Calendar” competition, inviting local high school and primary school students to participate. The winning images were then featured in a calendar for 2025. This project aims to provide schools and students with a reason to start conversations about respect, with the hope that children involved become “Respect Ambassadors” as they learn about what respect looks, sounds and feels like.

he club actively engaged in advocacy by sharing daily social media posts on its Facebook page and supporting the “Men Against Domestic Violence” community concert and fundraiser. Members fully embraced each initiative, demonstrating their commitment to advocacy through meaningful action.
