Zonta International President Susanne von Bassewitz highlights Zonta’s work on child
marriage at UNICEF USA Annual Summit
The UNICEF USA Annual Summit in Washington, D.C. in March highlighted the importance
of partnerships in improving the lives of children and achieving sustainable development
goals worldwide. Corporations, foundations and individual supporters came together to
share successes and galvanize support for continued efforts to reach the most vulnerable.
Amongst UNICEF USA’s many partners at the summit, Zonta International was recognized
for its nearly 50 years of partnership. UNICEF USA President and CEO Caryl Stern applauded
Zonta International’s long-standing commitment to improving the lives of women and girls
and congratulated Zonta on its centennial anniversary in her opening remarks, while Zonta
International’s current support for Let Us Learn in Madagascar was highlighted in a video
celebrating UNICEF successes over the last year.
Zonta International President Susanne von Bassewitz was invited to discuss Zonta Interna-
tional’s efforts to end child marriage as part of a breakout session titled “Uniting for Impact:
Ending Child Marriage”. She was joined by State Representative Kay Khan who spoke about
efforts to end child marriage in the United States. President Susanne also participated in a
main stage panel, “Beyond Fundraising: Transformative Partnerships for Children and
Young People.” Moderated by UNICEF Deputy Executive Director Charlotte Petri Gornitzka,
the panel focused on how NGOs, corporations, foundations, and individuals are supporting
UNICEF’s mission beyond their funding commitments.
