Zonta supports Endometriosis New Zealand
 
 
 
Zonta International District 16 (New Zealand) and the Endometriosis New Zealand (ENZ) has agreed to work together for the next two years to raise awareness of endometriosis as a key women's health issue which currently received inadequate attention and research investment.
 
Zonta will  support the national rollout of the all about me educational programme to young women in New Zealand high schools. The programme aims to educate young women about menstrual health, endometriosis symptoms, and treatment options. In addition, Zonta will assist with the Patient Partnering Programme information provision.

Zonta pledge to support Women in the Solomon Islands
 
Zonta members at the 2009 District 16 Conference in October 2009 voted to support a new project in conjunction with Family Planning International, to support women and girls in the Solomon Islands. The project is in the early phases of establishment and will provide a health education programme, together with a life skills and income generating education programme. Initially based in Honiara, the capitalof the Solomon Islands, it is hoped that after successful establishment the programme will be able to expand to the outer islands.
