SOROPTIMIST INTERNATIONAL IS A GLOBAL VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT

Founded in 1921, Soroptimist International is a global volunteer movement with a network of around 66,000 club members in 120 countries. Advocating for human rights and gender equality, at the heart of Soroptimist International’s advocacy is its work across seven UN Centres, where our UN representatives ensure that the voices of women and girls are heard. Our membership work on grassroots projects that help women and girls achieve their individual and collective potential, realise aspirations and have an equal voice in communities worldwide.

Self Defense Course

On Sunday, March 12th, 16 Soroptimist and community members learned how to defend themselves.  There was a lot of laughing during the 1/5 hour course, and even more surprised looks when the techniques our instructor taught us actually worked!! Kelly and her partner, Lou were great teachers and empowered us to believe we are more  capable of defending ourselves . If you missed this empowering  event, don't worry.  We have been asked to host another in the near future. Women empowered!

SOROPTIMIST INTERNATIONAL:

 

 

 

 

 

A global volunteer organization that provides women and girls with access to the education and training they need to achieve economic empowerment.

Our focus is on education because educated women and girls are:

  • Less vulnerable to sex traffickers
  • More likely to leave a domestic violence situation and not return
  • Able to access healthcare
  • Less likely to live in poverty
  • Able to raise stronger, healthier families

 

Soroptimists are Philanthropists. Through our fundraising, we donate money to help women and girls, locally and around the world. Soroptimists are Activists, coordinating worldwide projects, such as the "Women's Opportunity Award" and bringing awareness to social injustices. Soroptimists are Optimists.
 
We hope you will join and partner with us to make the world a better place for women and girls!
