Zonta Says NO from Hawaiʻi

Peconic Bay member Mona Rowe (orange scarf), Logan Rowe (left) and Lindsay Aubrey give a shout-out to Zonta during the 16 Days of Activism campaign against gender-based violence.

They stand at a Zonta Says NO sign put up by the Zonta Club of Kauaʻi, in Hawaiʻi.

Here's a shocking statistic: a woman is killed every 10 minutes. The United Nations reports that in 2023, approximately 51,100 women and girls worldwide were killed by their intimate partners or other family members. For more facts and figures, click here.

Rowe was on the island of Kauaʻi during the Thanksgiving holiday to visit family and friends. "Ask me why I'm wearing orange," she said, engaging folks in a conversation about violence against women and girls. Orange symbolizes a brighter future, one free of violence.
