13,310,500, or one in three of the total global population of women, have experienced physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence, or sexual violence by a non-partner. In some countries, that the number can be as high as 70% of women. #ZontaSaysNO #16Days

[Zonta International @ZontaIntl]

Sexual harassment is not complementary, humorous or unavoidable; it is an abuse of power. One in three women experience intimate partner violence and non-partner sexual violence. When sexual harassment is included, the numbers are much higher. #ZontaSaysNO #16Days

Zontians and friends in the United States, say NO to child marriage in the U.S. #EndChildMarriage #ZontaSaysNO #16Days

[Zonta Club of Oswego @ZontaClubOswego]

Ending Child Marriage is a way to advocate for the women and children worldwide. Did you know that girls who marry before the age of 15 are 50% more likely to experience physical or sexual violence than those who wait until after age 18 to marry? #ZontaSaysNO #EndChildMarriage

Rep @AOC: "I do not need Rep. Yoho to apologize to me. Clearly he does not want to. Clearly when given the opportunity he will not & I will not stay up late at night waiting for an apology from a man who has no remorse over calling women & using abusive language towards women."

Today is International Non-binary People's Day. Non-binary persons have existed throughout history and across cultures. They are entitled to equal human rights. Let's end discrimination based on gender identity and expression. #NonBinaryDay
