During its November meeting, members and guests of the Zonta Club of Houston, TX, USA, reaffirmed their commitment to ending gender-based violence by taking the Zonta pledge to “Say NO to Violence” as part of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence campaign.

Through this pledge, participants vowed to:

• Say NO to violence against women and girls in all forms, including physical, psychological, and online abuse.
• Support or host programs addressing gender-based violence.
• Educate themselves by exploring resources on the Zonta Says NO website.
• Speak up about what they learned during the 16 Days and continue raising awareness through social media, family, and community conversations.
• Engage men and boys in taking the pledge and becoming active allies in preventing violence.

The club members wore orange and displayed anti-violence posters as part of the commemoration of the 16 Days.
