Build a Better World

for Women and Girls

We envision a world in which women’s rights are recognized as human rights and every woman is able to achieve her full potential. In such a world, women have access to all resources and are represented in decision-making positions on an equal basis with men.

Zonta is an International service organization of business and professional women working together to empower women and advocate at the local, state, and international level. We pledge ourselves to improve the legal, political, economic, educational, health and professional status of women.
