Our vision is powerful ...

Zonta International is a leading global organization of people dedicated to empowerment, service and advocacy. We envision a world where women’s rights are recognized as human rights and where every woman can reach her full potential. We stand for a world where women have access to all resources and are fairly represented in decision-making positions. We stand for a world where no woman lives in fear of violence.

... our mission is clear 

Zonta International is actively dedicated to change by giving women a voice worldwide. We do this through service and advocacy, both locally and internationally. Beyond that, our clubs celebrate young girls and young women with scholarships and awards such as the Young Women in Public Affairs Award, the Jane M. Klausman Scholarship, and the Amelia Earhart Fellowship.

We act in line with Zonta International President Salla Tuominen's vision for 2024-2026: "The challenges facing women and girls globally are vast and complex, reflecting deeply ingrained societal norms, systemic inequalities and discriminatory practices. In the face of these challenges, Zontians stand ready to take action. "

The Zonta International Biennial Goals for 2024-2026 are aligned with Zonta International’s mission, vision and strategic plan and outline the focus for the 2024-2026 Biennium. These goals describe the most critical items for our organization to concentrate on in the next two years as we build a better world for women and girls. 

CREDIBLE AND VISIBLE VOICE 

By focusing on increasing Zonta International’s credibility and visibility we move closer to achieving Zonta’s mission. While many actions need to be taken, during the 2024- 2026 Biennium, service and advocacy focus will be on the following areas: Violence Against Women, Climate Justice, Women in Decision-Making and Education Equality.

CLUB SUCCESS 

It is through the work of individuals and clubs that we build a better world for women and girls. Celebrating club successes maintains a strong membership base while fostering the Zonta Spirit.

LEADERSHIP AND SUSTAINABILITY

 Zonta must continue to manage its resources, meet our vision and ensure our long-term viability and success. Governance, leadership and internal structures are addressed to enable the effective achievement of Zonta’s mission.

ENGAGEMENT OF AUDIENCE AND ALLIES

In order to further Zonta’s mission and extend Zonta's voice, we will on all levels develop collaborations with like-minded organizations.
