What is Zonta?

Zonta International was founded in 1919 as a global organization of executives and professionals working together to advance the status of women.

Some of our global initiatives include the following:

We will end child marriage.

Almost 650 million women alive today

were married before turning 18.

We say NO to violence against women and girls.

About 2 in 3 women have experienced physical and/or sexual

violence from an intimate partner.

We will close the gender gap in education.

Every additional year of primary school increases girls'eventual

wages by 10-20 percent.
