UTICA, N.Y. — The City of Utica is set to light up in orange to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.
The Zonta Club of Utica is extending the observance with its 16 Days of Activism campaign, titled “Zonta Says No to Violence Against Women.”
The City will illuminate the large UTICA sign at the Oriskany Street parking garage and the lights across Varick Street in orange.
Zonta officials said the Oneida County Office Building, the Wynn Hospital parking garage, the Adirondack Bank Building on Genesee Street, the Bank of Utica clock tower, and the Utica Electric sign on Oriskany Boulevard will also be lit in orange.
The United Nations launched this international day in 2008, choosing orange as the campaign’s signature color to symbolize a bright and optimistic future free from violence against women.
