Zonta Says NO! Indiana clubs march at Frankfort!
On a cold blustery November morning, the Zonta clubs of Indiana met at the Frankfort, Indiana courthouse to march against domestic violence. Joining the Zonta Club of Frankfort were the clubs of Lebanon, Indianapolis and high school Z Clubs of Lebanon and Frankfort. This event kicks off 16 Days of Activism, that runs from November 25 (International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) to December 10 (Human Rights Day).
After a few warm-up exercises, Zonta Area 4 Director Jeni Royalty and Frankfort President, Stephanie Buntin kicked off the event, then introduced Frankfort mayor, Judy Sheets who welcomed the clubs and read a proclamation in support of “Zonta Says NO” to Domestic Violence Against Women. Next Frankfort Police Department Chief Scott Shoemaker spoke about the impacts of domestic violence on families and the hesitation out of fear to report the abuser. It is usually a neighbor or friend, but often the abuse goes unnoticed. Also, the Director of DVIPP (Domestic Violence Intervention and Prevention Program) from the YWCA of Greater Lafayette, Meghann Dubea spoke of the programs that provide domestic violence intervention and prevention services. These support services are available to women in the surrounding counties of Lafayette. To talk to someone at the YCWA, call 765-742-0075 or find them on Facebook at http://www.ywcalafayette.org/.
