URGENT UPDATE: An impactful campaign against violence towards women is lighting up Ohio as local communities join forces to support the Zonta Club of Cleveland’s initiative. Orange lights are now shining brightly at Mayfield Heights City Hall and surrounding municipal buildings, a visible reminder of the ongoing fight against gender-based violence. This initiative, part of the 16 Days of Activism that began on November 25 and runs until December 10, aims to raise awareness and encourage community participation.
Residents across Mayfield Heights, Cleveland Heights, Pepper Pike, and other nearby cities are urged to join the movement by displaying their own orange lights at home. The campaign underscores a pressing societal issue—violence against women—and aims to foster dialogue and education on this critical topic.
In addition to Mayfield Heights, cities such as Cleveland, Aurora, Oakwood, Parma, and Pepper Pike are participating, along with Ursuline College. This widespread involvement highlights the collective commitment to ending violence against women.
The Zonta Club of Cleveland is part of Zonta International, a leading global organization with over 25,000 members in 65 countries. This organization is dedicated to improving the lives of women and girls worldwide, advocating for women’s rights as human rights, and striving for a world where no woman lives in fear of violence.
The orange light symbolizes hope and solidarity. As communities come together, they aim to create a culture of respect and safety for all women. The campaign not only illuminates buildings but also seeks to enlighten hearts and minds about the urgency of addressing gender-based violence.
