— 16 Days of Activism —

Service in Action

A united District 10 project elevating our voices during the 16 Days of Activism — 25
November to 10 December.

A Letter to District 10

United voices. Tangible change.

Dear District 10 Zontians — I’m excited to share an idea for a united Service / Advocacy / Membership project that combines and elevates our voices during the 16 Days of Activism.

Zonta International invites every club to embrace projects under the Zonta Says No campaign and to Orange the World during this time. Together, we can build something larger than any single club.

Featured Project

Beloved Bundles

Our clubs are coming together to support survivors of sexual assault by preparing bundles of essential items — clothing, toiletries and comfort objects — for someone who has just undergone a rape exam. It is a small act with profound dignity returned.

Inviting potential members to participate is a powerful way to show what it means to be a Zontian — service, presence, and meaningful work.

How Your Club Can Begin

Five steps. One united front.

01

Locate a Center

Identify a local rape crisis center or sexual assault response team in your community.

02

Gather Bundles

Assemble essentials — clothing, toiletries, comfort items — for survivors after a forensic exam.

03

Pack Together

Schedule a packaging event. Invite prospective members to experience Zonta in action.

04

Listen & Learn

Host a recorded talk with Tracy Matheson, founder of Project Beloved, sharing the story behind the mission.

05

Amplify

Share your club’s work with #ZontaD1016Days — your story strengthens our collective voice.
