Some highlights in autumn 2025, public events:
November 25 – December 10: The shop window at Flickans städ (on Storgatan opposite Stadsparken) will be decorated in orange and with orange shoes. The shoes symbolize the 104 police reports regarding violence against women in the municipalities of Båstad and Ängelholm during 2024.
Nov 25 at 6:00 PM: Together with Skyddsjouren, Bjäre Zontaklubb participates in a torchlight procession on the international UN day 'Orange Day', the day for the elimination of violence against girls and women. The torchlight procession starts at Stadsparken and ends at Stortorget with a small ceremony for a society free of violence and with a lecture in the City Library Auditorium.
Nov 25 at 7:00 PM: In the Auditorium of Ängelholm City Library we will hear two current stories from today's Ukraine. Diana Kaynts, a Zonta member in Ukraine, talks about what it is like to live in war. She has her own experiences from trips to the front. Orthopedist Bengt Sturesson talks about the work with the Ukrainian hospital 'Medical Center Angelholm' and what efforts are still needed when the war is ongoing. Admission 150 SEK. Surplus from the evening goes to those affected by the war.
Nov 28, 11:00–15:00: The ”Buy an extra” campaign at ICA Maxi, an activity in our orange vests together with Skyddsjouren, which receives families fleeing violence in relationships. This afternoon we ask customers on their way into the store to buy and donate groceries that are needed in Skyddsjouren’s operations. Last year, the campaign gave a great response.
