Reproductive Rights
Women’s Reproductive Rights are Human Rights
The long history of advocacy around “women’s rights are human rights” features activists from the Global South and women of color in the US. In 1945, at the United Nations founding, courageous Latin American feminists played a critical role in advancing “women’s rights” into the category of human rights.

“Women’s Rights are Human Rights “ informs everything the Zonta Foothills Club of Boulder County does to make the world a better place for women and girls. We are united, whether standing against human trafficking, preventing domestic violence, eliminating child marriage, working to pass the ERA, and today, in 2025, fighting to protect women’s reproductive healthcare choices and make abortion safe and legal throughout the country.
Zonta International Calls Us to Action
Zonta International, the Zonta USA Caucus calls on our Clubs to protect women’s reproductive health care choices and abortion access, consistent with Zonta International's Reproductive Health Policy and Zonta International’s statement in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade.
We Join With Other Coloradans to Protect Reproductive Rights
The Zonta Foothlls Club of Boulder County defends a woman’s right to make decisions regarding her own body; we believe this to be fundamental. That’s why our Club members overwhelmingly endorsed Coloradans for Protecting Reproductive Freedoms .
We are proud that Coloradans spoke with their vote and enshrined this right in our state Constitution. We will not go back, not now, not ever.
