Advocacy is the expression of support for, or opposition to, a
cause, argument or
proposal. Advocacy actions
may include influencing
laws, legislation or attitudes.
Advocacy is an issue based
thrust, and our efforts are
not linked to any political
party. Zonta International

human rights of women at
international, national and
local levels. District 3 clubs
carry out Advocacy programs developed by Zonta International
and adapts them for use at a local, state and national level.

cation and eliminating
violence against women
in various regions of the
world. The clubs of
District 3 carry out a
great variety of service projects to help women in their local
communities. District 3 clubs also contribute to the Zonta
International Service Progams which supports projects that seek
to improve the legal, political, economic, educational, and/or
health status of women in developing countries or countries in
