Today, November 25th, we gather for the flag-off ceremony of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women @ Zonta club house and Alesheloye market. This day marks the beginning of our 16 Days of Activism, where we stand together and make a collective choice to SPEAK UP and say NO to violence against women and girls. We recognize the crucial impact of the Zonta Says NO to Violence Against Women campaign globally. Violence is not confined to a small portion of a distant community; it surrounds us. We invite all men and boys to join us in this fight, acknowledging that gender-based violence affects not only women and girls but also has far-reaching consequences for everyone. Let us unite and SPEAK UP together!
