On 11 October, members of the Zonta Club of Dallas, USA, gathered to prepare for the upcoming 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, combining friendship, fellowship and a shared passion for making a difference.

Celebrated annually on 11 October, International Day of the Girl reminds us that every girl deserves to grow up safe, receive an education and have the opportunity to reach her full potential. Yet millions of girls worldwide continue to face discrimination, child marriage and violence, underscoring the importance of Zonta’s mission.

Through their preparations, members reaffirmed their belief that empowering girls today means creating stronger, safer communities tomorrow. Every girl deserves a future filled with possibilities, and the club remains committed to turning compassion into action.

Attendees included Club President Krisitn Cutts, Vice President Alicia Burroughs, Past President Paige Kendrick, Secretary Lisamarie Williams, Miriam Kelly, Sachi Wisner, Janna Schick and MaryAnn Maddox.
