“Zonta Says NO” is a Zonta International campaign to raise awareness of and increase actions to end violence against women and girls around the world.
Berry Zonta has established a window display in Berry Chemist and the Shoalhaven Library, with plenty of information available on how to access local domestic violence services.
President of Zonta Berry Rosalie Fletcher said Zonta is passionate about eliminating domestic violence.
“Domestic violence is one of the major messages we want to get out,” she said.
“We’re all about women empowering women.”
The Zonta Club of Berry was chartered in 2001 and is one of 1,100 clubs operating in 65 countries with a membership of more than 30,000 worldwide.

“Sixteen years ago no-one in Berry knew what Zonta was and now everyone recognises what it is and what we do,” she said.
“Zonta has a seat at the United Nations.”
