13.01.2022 MEDIA RELEASE New signs in Council toilets share important message Townsville City Council and ZONTA Club of Townsville Inc are working together to create signs for public toilets that detail services available for people experiencing domestic and family violence.... Community and Cultural Development Committee chairperson Ann-Maree Greaney said the Behind Closed Doors project had the potential to help a myriad of people living in Townsville or visiting the city. Domestic and family violence is an incredibly important issue in our community, and unfortunately it is more prevalent than most of us realise, Cr Greaney said. People who experience domestic violence and abuse are often unable to easily research support options, so having this information readily available in Council-owned toilets is just one small thing Council and #ZONTA can do to help people leave domestic and family violence. ZONTA Qld District Governor Bridget Mather said the signs would help raise awareness for domestic and family violence. Women's rights are human rights and ZONTA empowers women and girls, globally, Ms Mather said. Mayors and Councils from Brisbane to Cairns have generously sponsored signage in a safe place, to better inform women and girls at risk of violence. One woman dies at the hands of their partner every week, in Australia. ZONTA says: no more. Cr Greaney said there was hope for all people experiencing domestic and family violence. The Behind Closed Doors project is a simple way to help spread awareness for services available to people experiencing domestic and family violence. These signs will help those living with domestic or family violence as well as those who are concerned about a friend, colleague or family member, she said. Violence and abuse in the home is more widespread than most of us think, so it’s important that information is easy to access for everyone in our community. Resources for people experiencing domestic and family violence are available through services like 1800RESPECT and DV Connect, who can be contacted by phone call or over the internet. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic or family violence, contact 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732) or DV Connect on 1800 811 811. In life-threatening emergencies, call Queensland Police on triple-0. ZONTA Club of Townsville Inc - thanks #TownsvilleCityCouncil for the support of this project. These signs will be appearing in Public Amenities in the very near future throughout the Greater Townsville Area.

12.01.2022 Celebrating International Women’s Day, Sweet Adelines Australia proudly shares their I Am Woman video. I Am Woman is a song of empowerment that helped chang...e society and turned a generation into trailblazers; it is an anthem that demanded that human rights be respected and that prejudice be quashed and that those who were, and are, experiencing oppression and whose voices were and are not heard be empowered and enabled. The video, produced to celebrate our 30th Anniversary, showcases our choruses across Australia. A key part of the Sweet Adelines Australia 30-year success story has been the connection between wellbeing and support that goes hand-in-hand with harmony singing. We are very proud of our inclusivity and welcome women from all cultures and backgrounds to come along and experience the magic of ordinary women doing an extraordinary thing together. Every chorus in Region 34 put their own stamp on this Glenda Lloyd four-part a cappella arrangement of Helen Reddy’s and Ray Burton’s iconic anthem. #IWD2020 #IAmWoman #LIfeonahighnote #SweetAdsAust #Iamsweetadelines

12.01.2022 RIP Helen Reddy

11.01.2022 Congratulations Ros.

07.01.2022 Why is 16 Days of Activism Important? Take a look at the below statistics! Society has NOT progressed forward enough that we don’t need to have campaigns like ...this any longer. Gender based violence is still prevalent in our own community. #16days #zontainternational #zontasaysno #orangetheworld

06.01.2022 RIP Helen Reddy - Your roar will be forever heard through the timeless anthem "I am Women"

04.01.2022 Our members were very thankful to Rosie Stannard, Mackay's own Ovarian Cancer Nurse, for attending tonight's dinner meeting and speaking to us about the incredi...ble work of the Trudy Crowley Foundation The Trudy Crowley Foundation was created to alleviate the suffering of those both directly and indirectly impacted by ovarian cancer. By connecting people with the right information, support services and resources available during this difficult time, the Foundation ensures that no woman, child, partner, parent or friend feels alone. Together with Jacquie Camilleri, Zonta member and Director of the Trudy Crowley Foundation, Rosie made us aware of the common symptoms and risk factors associated with ovarian cancer. We are looking forward to hearing from Foundation ambassador, Bridgeen Doherty, in the future, and are proud to donate to this very important cause.

01.01.2022 The roll out of our "Behind Closed Doors" signage has started in earnest. Such a blight on our society that this type of signage is even needed. We hope they are helpful to anyone in need of assistance.
