Zonta Says NO to Violence Against Women
Zonta says NO projects bring awareness and advocacy to combat violence against women and girls.
Mayor John Gates is joined by members of the Zonta Club of Greeley after signing their Proclamation for 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence, which begins on Nov 25, International Day to Eliminate Violence Against Women, and ends December 10, International Human Rights Day. Two representatives of A Woman’s Place also attended the City Council meeting November 20, 2018, in support of the Proclamation.
Addressing Human Trafficking
Zonta Club of Greeley has worked to facilitate a coalition, known as NECCAT (Northeast Colorado Coalition Against Trafficking) which includes seven local and national law enforcement entities and 35 victim-service-providing agencies. NECCAT works to recover victims, stop demand, educate, and advocate.
The Zonta Club of Greeley is honored for this recognition, thank you Greeley Police Department!
Domestic Violence Awareness Campaign (“Silent Witness”)
Zonta’s Silent Witness campaign exhibits life-size silhouettes in public places with stories of deceased victims of domestic violence.
If you have suggestions where to display these silhouettes please email us at greeleyzontaclub@nullgmail.com
Many thanks to Heath Middle School students through Mike Pearson’s AVID/Industrial Arts Program in Greeley for once again creating Silent Witness displays! We now have a person with a wheelchair, to highlight that domestic violence also affects people with disabilities. Students also made helpful projects for Lutheran Family Services Refugee & Asylee Programs, Weld Food Bank, Heath Intensive Autism Program and Free Our Girls!
Z Clubs
Z Clubs (high school) and Golden Z Clubs (College) are student clubs that are sponsored by Zonta clubs, and are intended to stimulate new and meaningful student-led service and advocacy groups. They are now forming in Greeley.
Z Clubs provide young adults with opportunities to strengthen and develop communication and leadership skills, explore career alternatives, and empower women through service and advocacy.
Free The Girls Campaign
To help human trafficking victims in developing countries get back on their feet, gently used bras are collected and sent to the victims, who can then sell the bras as a source of income through their own businesses.
Advocacy
Zonta members provide legislative awareness and advocacy on a variety of issues to improve the status of women.
