In the bustling market of the midnight trade,
Echoes a silence; in the shadows, it wades.
The currency is human; in this cruel exchange,
An industry born of a world deranged.
Control and abuse, a cycle repeated,
In the heart of our industry, freedom is defeated.
A disoriented face, a look of despair,
Invisible chains in the open air.

March 8th is International Women’s Day and we will hold our 2nd annual event, Iconic Women. This is when we award our scholarships to young girls and single moms. The Rose Scholarship is an award to a non-traditional student, female head of household, and primary wage earner of the family. The Jane M. Klausman Women in Business Scholarship is for students who must be enrolled in at least the second year of an undergraduate program through the final year of a master’s program at the time the application is submitted to the local Zonta club. Applicants must still be in school at the time the scholarship funds are disbursed and must not graduate before April 2025.

In addition to the scholarships, we are hosting a panel of AMAZING women to share what they are doing to bring other young women along to advocate for gender equality. You may recognize a face or two on the panel. 😉
