#ZontaSaysNo
The Global 16 Days Campaign is an international campaign to challenge violence against women and girls. The campaign runs from November 25 to December 10, and is designed to raise awareness of gender-based violence in our community and raise funds to support victims.
The Zonta Club of Oakville, a chapter of Zonta International, has launched its Say No to Violence against Women campaign to align with their fundraiser, 16 Days of Activism. People often don’t realize just how prevalent violence against women is even in our community of Oakville. The statistics can be staggering. Halton Regional Police have investigated numerous Intimate Partner Violence incidents in 2021.
Donate to "New Beginning Bags" - Donate to Say NO!
To help support those impacted, the Zonta Club of Oakville will be working with its partner organizations to distribute “New Beginning Bags" for those who need to flee violence quickly and often without any belongings. Donate to "New Beginning Bags" - Donate to Say NO! The club is asking the community to say "NO” to violence by saying "YES" to a $16 donation.
The $16.00 represents a dollar for each of the 16 days of activism the club actively promotes.
