Mission
Zonta International is a leading global organisation of professionals empowering women worldwide through service and advocacy.
Vision
Zonta International envisions a world in which women's rights are recognised 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.
In such a world, no woman lives in fear of violence.
