Zonta speaks to the government

There is a consensus in the Riksdag that honor-related violence and oppression need to be fought with force. At the end of May 2024, Zonta District 21 and 144 other instances were given an opportunity to give a statement about a partial consideration. The request was sent from the Department of Labor and Employment, Equality Unit. It is the first time Zonta D21 has been asked to be a referral body.
