在過往的教育經驗中，我們看到普遍家長仍受著傳統對性難以啟齒的限制，以致把所有關於性的話題說成：「為你好，不要問，不可就不可！」。當父母視性為骯髒、不合適或秘密時，青少年就會開始把性和羞恥及罪惡連結在一起。若不能在家中尋找答案，他們就轉向同儕、網絡媒體或透過自己實驗來尋求答案。

有輔導組老師分享在學校設展版講解戀愛性暴力，幾位初中女生連展版也不敢走近，一位男生更拋下一句：「性暴力唔關我事！」反映青少年對性暴力認知不足，而現時主流的課程亦未可開拓一個能夠提問及學習與性相關知識的開放環境。

Z-moves是一個透過藝術創作，消除性別暴力的運動。我們深信藝術有改變社會及提升女性自強的力量，藉以喚起各界人士關注性騷擾等性別與暴力的國際議題，推廣和平訊息。

為何要說「不」?

每一句言語、每一個行為，也是一種取態，不管力量多微弱，也有改變社會的力量，點滴支持，匯川成河。性別暴力並不是個人的問題，它影響著社會上每一個人。在香港，每7名女性，便有一名曾遭受性暴力，性暴力從來不是冰山一角之事，它存在於你我之間。我們希望透過藝術計劃提升社會大眾對性別暴力的認知，一步一步為社會帶來改變，共同建構性別平等生活環境。

To support Zonta Says NO and the 16 Days of Activism, Zonta Club of Kowloon will join hands with ACSVAW to co-organize the Z-moves Art Festival in 2014. Z-moves means “Zonta Moves the World” spreads “Zonta Says NO” message through arts in order to end gender-based violence. This event is the first of its kind being held in Hong Kong: a multi-media art festival aiming at raising awareness of gender-based violence in Hong Kong, China.

Within the past experience of education, we can seem that parents are limited by the traditional sense of sexual normally, and regard all the sexual topics into ‘For your own good, don't ask, that's my word’. When parents regards sex is a dirty, unsuitable or secret things, teenagers will start think that sexual is connected with shame and evil. If they cannot find the answer from family, they will turn to seek help from peer, media of internet or by their own experience.

A teacher said that in a school talk about sexual violence, a few girl afraid to come crosser the exhibition, a boy even said,' Sexual violence is none of my business'. It reflects that teenagers are cognitive deficits toward sexual violence. Also, the mainstream curriculum cannot provide a open channel to learn about sexual related knowledge.

Z-moves is a movement via creating art to eliminate gender-base violence. We believe that art has a power to improve the self-strengthening of women deeply. And arise the attention of gender-base violence in different people and promote the message of peace.

Every words, every behaviors are an attitude. Despite how weak the power, when all the power add up together, we can change the society. Gender-base violence is not an individual’s problems; it influences everyone in the society. In Hong Kong, 1 in every 7 women has suffered sexual violence. It exists between you and me. We hope to raise public awareness of gender-base violence through this Art program and change the community gradually. Let’s construct a gender equality living environment.
