The Zonta Club of Shellharbour-Kiama is hosting a community event on Tuesday 25 November from 10am at Shellharbour City Council to mark the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence campaign.

President Rita Sullivan said the event aims to raise awareness of domestic and family violence and highlight the local services working to support those affected.

The morning will feature a panel discussion, keynote address, first responders and stalls from community support agencies, with morning tea provided.

Zonta’s Director of Advocacy Jackie Edwards said the event is an opportunity for the community to stand together and learn how to take action.

“This campaign reminds us that everyone has a role to play in ending violence against women and children,” she said.

All are welcome to attend.
