IWD & Yellow Rose Campaign Toolkit
Month of March
Integrating IWD & Yellow Rose Campaign
The overlap of Zonta Rose Day and International Women’s Day has sometimes presented challenges as we work to create sustainable campaigns that extend beyond each biennium. Although we can capitalize on the visibility of International Women’s Day (March 8, 2026), restricting our fundraising and awareness activities to only Zonta Rose Day limits the flexibility and impact our members can achieve.
To address these challenges, ZI is expanding the celebrations to encompass the entire month of March. While this may seem like a shift from tradition, it aligns with how many of our clubs already celebrate Zonta by holding their Rose Day events before and after 8 March. International Women’s Day will remain a key focal point for our global causes and visibility efforts, but now the entire month will serve as a time to honour Zonta and the remarkable women who deserve recognition.
