The Zonta Club of Isabela, Philippines, is committed to the 16 Days of Activism. While heavy rains delayed the installation of their Zonta Says NO banner from Day 1, their resolve never wavered. Today, the club is proud to flood the Province of Isabela with a visible message.

the club stand in resolute solidarity with Zonta International and government partners in the inspiring call to #OrangeTheWorld. Orange is the color of optimism—the bright, unwavering symbol of a future entirely free from the shadow of violence against women and girls.

This is more than a launch; it is a public commitment.

A Dual Front of Advocacy: Ilagan and Naguilian

The club is now reaching residents on two strategic fronts, making the campaign impossible to miss:

• THE MONUMENTAL DECLARATION (Province of Isabela): Our massive “Zonta Says NO!” orange tarpaulin is proudly erected in a strategic heart infront of the Capitol and Provincial Safety Office. This action aligns with its mandate to protect women and children wherever they are, reinforces public awareness, and underscores the government’s commitment to safeguarding communities from gender-based violence.
• THE DIGITAL REACH (Naguilian): We are thrilled to announce that the #OrangeTheWorld message is also running on the LED Display in Naguilian! This ensures our vital advocacy reaches a broader, dynamic audience across a major thoroughfare.

This is the club’s monumental declaration and rallying cry against violence.

The message is clear to every resident and traveler of the Province of Isabela: “VIOLENCE HAS NO PLACE HERE. Not in our homes. Not in our streets. Not in our province.”

The club urges every resident and traveler of the Province of Isabela: Stop. Look. Let the gravity of this message resonate every time you pass by. Let it be a reminder that silence perpetuates abuse.
