Ask Annika!

Ask Annika Shapiro why she's wearing orange and she will tell you about the Zonta Says NO to Violence Against Women campaign.

From November 25 – December 10, Zonta women wear orange to show solidarity in opposition to violence against women.

Child marriage is another form of gender-based violence. This crime is happening everywhere. Some European countries have the loophole of parental consent. In the U.S., 37 states still allow for children under 18 to be married. Iraq's parliament is currently preparing a legislative change to allow marriage with a 9-year-old girl. Every 10 minutes, 229 girls are married.

Will you wear orange, too?
