Advocacy

Zonta advocates for a world where women’s rights are recognized as human rights—and where every woman and girl has the opportunity to thrive.

Advocacy is at the heart of Zonta’s mission. We are dedicated to raising awareness, influencing policy, and championing initiatives that protect the rights and improve the lives of women and girls.

Advocacy means speaking up—whether in support of a cause, in opposition to injustice, or in shaping laws, legislation, and community attitudes. For Zonta, advocacy is action taken in the public interest and for the greater good, always with the goal of advancing the status of women and girls and ensuring their human rights are recognized and upheld.
