Zonta Club of Jamestown Raises Awareness of Domestic Violence During 16 Days of ActivismThe Zonta Club of Jamestown is joining organizations around the world in observing Zonta International’s annual 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence campaign, November 25 through December 10. Through a series of community initiatives, the club is working to raise awareness of domestic violence, share valuable resources, and encourage action to end violence against women.This year, the Zonta Club of Jamestown has planned several activities throughout the community to bring attention to this important issue. The City of Jamestown will issue a mayoral proclamation recognizing the 16 Days of Activism, and City Hall will be illuminated in orange, the internationally recognized color of the campaign and a symbol of the fight to end violence against women.In an effort to reach individuals throughout the region, the club is partnering with 18 libraries across Chautauqua County to distribute information about domestic violence and provide access to resources for individuals who may need help or support. Additional awareness efforts include decorating a tree in orange and displaying an awareness banner at the Salvation Army.The need for continued awareness and advocacy is significant. According to national statistics, nearly one in two women and more than four in ten men in the United States report experiencing contact sexual violence, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner during their lifetime.Domestic violence and sexual assault are pervasive, life-threatening crimes that affect millions of individuals across the country, regardless of age, economic status, race, religion, or educational background. Raising awareness, making resources accessible, and creating supportive communities are important steps toward ending this violence.Zonta International is committed to building a better world for women and girls through service and advocacy. The organization's vision is a world in which no woman lives in fear of violence.The Zonta Club of Jamestown encourages community members to wear orange, learn about the issue, share available resources, and join in raising awareness during the 16 Days of Activism. Together, our community can help create a safer future for women and girls. ... See MoreSee Less
