What is Advocacy?

​​Advocacy is the expression of support for, or opposition to, a cause, argument or proposal.  Advocacy may include influencing laws, legislation or attitudes. 

​

Zonta advocacy is an action taken in the public interest or for the greater good with respect to advancing the status of women and girls and their human rights.

​

Advocacy is a political action. However, Zonta is non-partisan and non-sectarian so we do not support a candidate or a political party but we do act on policies and public issues. 

​

There are many issues for advocacy by Zonta members but we have to limit the number of issues so our focus can be more influential. 

​

In November and December 2025, we have two activities underway:  16 Days campaign  and the Voices Empower walk.
