The Zonta Club of Hualien, Taiwan, led by Club President Peng Liping, recently visited Fuyuan Elementary School to donate funds for the school baseball team’s competition expenses and to promote the “Say No to Violence Against Women” campaign.

Children from families in remote rural areas face a higher risk of experiencing violence than those in cities. Using this donation as an opportunity, the club encouraged students to protect themselves and have the courage to say no to violence.

The club has long awarded the Zonta Scholarship, raising its profile in Taiwan and enabling underprivileged girls to confidently pursue their dreams. The program has been met with enthusiastic support from educators, families and community leaders.

Staying true to its mission, the Zonta club continues to carry out creative advocacy to raise public awareness of violence against women, while empowering women and girls through service, advocacy and ongoing educational support in alignment with the Zonta Says NO campaign.
