Thursday November 23 2023 The Star Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz NEWS 21 City to glow orange with hope EXPECT AN orange glow over the city later this month as Zonta International marks its 16-day campaign of activism opposing violence towards women and girls. Christchurch’s four Zonta clubs are among 28 in New Zealand which will host events between Saturday and December 10 to raise awareness of genderbased violence and fundraise for organisations that support victims of abuse. As part of the campaign, many of the city’s landmark buildings and structures will be lit up in orange to send a clear, visible message for a better future for women and girls. Among the buildings to be lit up are the Isaac Theatre Royal, the Christchurch Art Gallery, the Bridge of Remembrance, the Bowker Fountain, Vaka a Hine artwork on Worcester St, the town hall fountain, Cashel Mall, New Regent St, the Fanfare Sculpture on the Northern Motorway, the Christchurch Casino, the New Brighton Pier and the Christchurch Airport overbridge. In addition, there will be orange influences on structures like the planter boxes on Victoria and Hereford Sts, and displays in at least four city libraries. Christchurch South Zonta LIGHTS: As part of the ‘Zonta says no to violence against women’ campaign, buildings in the city have previously been lit up in orange. Club advocacy chair Catherine Goodwin said the New Zealand domestic violence statistics make for troubling reading. “Good Shepherd New Zealand research suggests one in three New Zealand women have experienced physical or sexual intimate partner violence in their lifetime,” she said. “When psychological abuse is added (where economic harm sits), this increases to one in two. “Internationally, up to 50 per cent of sexual assaults are committed against girls under 16 years of age. Just imagine if this was your daughter, your granddaughter or your sister.” Goodwin said the colour orange symbolises a brighter future, free of violence and gender-based control, particularly for women and girls, and is a powerful display of hope. “It is also a clear message that, as a society, we do not condone abuse.” The lighting up of buildings worldwide by Zonta International began in 2012 to mark the organisation’s 16 days of awareness against gender-based violence. “We hope that this campaign shows victims that living with abuse, in any form, is unacceptable and that there are people and organisations within our community that care for their well-being and are there to support them,” said Goodwin. The campaign launch is open to the public and will be held tonight at the Christchurch Art Gallery from 6-8pm. “This will be a wonderful networking event in the iconic art gallery foyer, with speakers talking briefly on the different perspectives addressing this challenging societal issue,” Goodwin said. •Tickets cost $40 and are available at www.eventbrite.co.nz GREAT DEALS ON HONDA JAZZ 78 ST ASAPH STREET 03 940 3000 WWW.HONDA.CO.NZ
