Why Soroptimist?

Perhaps you feel that your circle of friends is too insular and you would like to meet women from different walks of life. Or maybe you find that, although you enjoy your job, it demands so much of your energy that you are becoming very single-tracked.

You might feel that society is becoming increasingly selfish, but you are powerless to help others meaningfully. You would like to put something back into your community, but are unsure where to start.

It could be that you are aware your knowledge on human rights issues is scanty. But how do you really address the sex trade, child labour and the status of women single handedly?

If you are a person who wishes to provide volunteer service in an atmosphere of support, friendship and fun, then joining Soroptimist may be right for you. It is about women working together for others, but also for themselves and having fun doing it.

Those who join accept the challenge to foster the ideals of service by working within their communities, their countries, and the world providing a global voice for women and striving for human rights and equality for all through international good will and understanding.
