On Wednesday, members of Zonta Toowoomba Area and the Zonta Club of Toowoomba Garden City joined the Toowoomba community at the candlelit vigil hosted by Toowoomba Together.

It was a meaningful opportunity to honour lives lost, support those impacted, and reaffirm our shared commitment to change.

Events like these remind us of the power of community, compassion, and hope. It was heart-warming to see so many individuals and organisations showing their solidarity and support.

Myth-Busting Zonta Membership 💛

Thinking about joining Zonta but not quite sure? Let’s clear up a few common myths…

✨ Myth 1: “You have to be a high-powered executive.”
Not true. Zonta welcomes women from diverse backgrounds, experiences, and stages of life. What matters most is your passion to make a difference.

✨ Myth 2: “It’s too time-consuming.”
Zonta is what you make it. Whether you can contribute a little or a lot, every effort counts—and is valued.

✨ Myth 3: “It’s all formal meetings.”
While we do important work, there’s also connection, laughter, and genuine friendships. It’s about community as much as contribution.

✨ Myth 4: “I won’t have anything to offer.”
Everyone brings something unique—ideas, skills, energy, perspective. Your voice matters here.

✨ Myth 5: “It won’t make a real difference.”
Zonta is part of a global movement empowering women and girls. From local projects to international impact, the difference is real—and powerful.

💛 If you’ve ever thought about getting involved, consider this your sign. Contact us at [email protected]
Come along, meet us, and see what Zonta is all about.

Because when women come together with purpose, incredible things happen.

Gender inequality isn’t just unfair — it’s a key driver of violence against women; by promoting respect, equality, and safe relationships, we can help change the story.

The Link Between Gender Inequality and Violence Against Women - OurWatch

Research from Our Watch Australia shows that gender inequality is a key driver of violence against women. Gender inequality occurs when men are valued more than women and have greater power, resources, and opportunities. The iceberg illustration shows what lies below the surface driving violence against women.

While both men and women experience violence, the patterns are different. Women are more likely to experience violence from someone they know — often a current or former partner — and are more likely to be seriously harmed or killed. In Australia, one woman is killed every nine days by a partner.

What increases the risk?
• Normalising or excusing violence
• Exposure to violence, especially in childhood
• High stress, alcohol misuse, and harmful environments
• Backlash against gender equality

Preventing violence starts with promoting respect, equality, and safe relationships.
Together, we can create a safer community. Find out more on the OurWatch website.
