The Zonta e-Club of Latvia has joined the global 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence with a powerful awareness initiative centered on respect, equality and collective action. The club launched its campaign, “Words. Awareness. Action.” under the motto “Respect in words. Equality in action.” with a video message from members underscoring that violence against women is never a private issue, but one that harms families, communities and society as a whole.

The campaign stresses that respect is the foundation of equality—and that equality is essential to creating a world free from violence. Throughout the 16 days, each member will contribute a short video addressing themes such as courage, compassion, justice, responsibility and hope.

By elevating diverse voices and emphasizing shared responsibility, the club aims to raise awareness, inspire action and help build a society where every woman and girl can live in safety and dignity.

The initiative concludes with a clear call to action: “Together, let’s build a society without violence!”
