On 25 November, the first day of the 16 Days of Activism Campaign, the Zonta Club of Dhaka II, Bangladesh, conducted an advocacy visit to a local school in Savar to raise awareness about early marriage and cyberbullying.

Students, teachers and several Rotary members attended the session, which featured interactive discussions on the physical, emotional and educational harms of early marriage, as well as the importance of staying in school and making informed decisions. Speakers also addressed the rise of cyberbullying, encouraging safe internet practices, responsible online behavior and seeking trusted help when facing digital harassment.

As part of the outreach effort, the club donated essential health and hygiene supplies to the school, including a water purifier for safe drinking water, sanitary products to support menstrual hygiene and liquid toiletries to improve cleanliness on campus.

School officials and students expressed strong appreciation for the awareness session and the donated items, noting that the program significantly supported their health and well-being. The participation of Rotary members underscored a shared commitment to community development and youth empowerment.

The visit strengthened the club’s ongoing partnership with the school and reinforced its mission to promote a safer, healthier and more informed learning environment.
