Two Countries United to Build a Better World for Women & Girls
“Every member matters, whether they are brand new or seasoned. We can all work together to “Build a Better World for Women & Girls.”
“Our Zonta International president, Salla Tuominen, has chosen a new motto to help us remember our goals – Sustainability, Spirit & Speaking up For Human Rights. Everyone can use these three things to make your meetings more sustainable and full of spirit as you Speak up for Human Rights!”

Take Action – International Day of the Child
Let’s stop spreading negative messages about what girls should be, what they should wear, how they should behave, why they should change themselves, etc.
This International Day of the Girl, 11 October, Zonta International will change the narrative.
But we need your help – your voice – your message to reach girls around the world.
We ask all members to submit a 15 to 30 second video with two messages.
Every day, girls are breaking boundaries and barriers, tackling issues like child marriage, education inequality, violence, climate justice, and inequitable access to healthcare. Girls are proving they are unstoppable,” the United Nations said when describing its publication, A New Era for Girls.
