We are building a better world for women and girls
Zonta Club of Brisbane
Why Zonta? We take action to build a better world for women and girls – where women’s rights are human rights and every woman is able to achieve her full potential.
We do this by working with frontline organisations, fund raising to support activities that keep women safe and help them thrive through education and empowerment.
We find joy in doing this in a supportive community of like-minded professionals and find strength in being an international organisation that tackles issues to help women right around locally and internationally.
