From the Zonta International Convention, 2010 San Antonio, TX
Preventing and ending violence against women and girls is a top priority for Zonta International and its 31,000
members in more than 1,200 Zonta clubs around the globe. Through the Zonta International Strategies to
End Violence Against Women (ZISVAW) program, Zonta International has assisted victims of violence and
human trafficking around the globe by: raising awareness of, and improving education about, violence against
women; promoting and enforcing local laws and policies that protect women and victims of violence; and providing
medical, legal, rehabilitation and reintegration services for survivors of violence. Locally, Zonta clubs
dedicate time and resources to supporting projects that prevent violence against women and support victims
of violence in their communities.
Zonta International joins UNIFEM in asking members and friends of Zonta around the world to join the global
call to make ending violence against women worldwide a top priority.
Say NO – UNiTE to End Violence against Women is a global call for action.

priority. More than 5 million people already signed on to Say NO . Add your name to this powerful call to take
