Zonta International, Districts and Clubs advocate at international, national and local levels about issues related to human rights and gender equality. Zonta International advocates on global issues primarily through the United Nations (UN) and Council of Europe. At the national level, Zonta Districts, Areas and Clubs take action in support of, or in opposition to, legislation on issues affecting women and girls. At the local level, Zonta clubs monitor laws and policies and their impact on women, participate by participating in hearings and public meetings with local politicians and administrators, and hosting speakers and panels to raise awareness about issues affecting women in their local communities.
