Achievements as a Zontian

Our club's Ending Violence Against Women and Girls orange marching parade in Pattaya City was a successful project. We collaborated with "The Fountain of Life Women's-Good Shepherd Sisters-Pattaya" and hosted a seminar at Pattaya City Hall to raise awareness and prevent violence against women. The parade drew diverse participants, and we received Zonta's Centennial Anniversary Grants in 2019. This initiative led to an MOU event in 2021, strengthening efforts to combat violence against women and children in Pattaya City. We take pride in empowering women and promoting awareness of this important cause.
