23.01.2022 Members Denise & Rosemary accepted a donation from Lions Club for our assistance at their Christmas Carnival. Part of our continuing commitment to community.

19.01.2022 October is Membership Month. An invitation to women & girls in our area.

12.01.2022 - There’s never been an easier fundraiser to support, because you don’t have to leave home to take part. Best of all, you can sup...port the great work of Soroptimist International while still following all the current social-distancing rules. With our gala non-event, you support our cause by making a donation instead of attending a fundraising dinner. You won't have to buy a ticket to attend a dinner, or buy drinks, raffle tickets and a new outfit. So, why not put the money you've saved towards a donation instead? Women and children are particularly vulnerable and disproportionately affected during times of crisis. The current COVID-19 pandemic and recent bushfires in many communities mean that women need our help more than ever. Once the current restrictions are lifted, Soroptimist members in clubs across NSW and the ACT will continue to help women through a range of hands-on projects. Your donation will go directly towards funding these projects and helping women. To make a donation, go to https://www.gofundme.com/f/social-distancing-gala-nonevent Thanks in advance for your generous support, and for sharing this post with your friends.

12.01.2022 6 February is the International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation, and with this in mind, we share news of a film based on the life of #FGM ac...tivist Ifrah Ahmed, one of the SI Road to Equality President’s Appeal #SoroptimistSix, who are each being supported in their media work through your donations to the President's Appeal 2019-2021. 'A Girl from Mogadishu' is written and directed by Mary McGuckian, and has been positively received globally. After fleeing from war-torn Somalia in 2006, Ifrah Ahmed was trafficked to Ireland where a traumatic medical examination whilst seeking asylum revealed the extent of her mutilation as a child. Although traumatised by the memory, Ifrah has channeled her experience and become a formidable campaigner against Female Genital Mutilation. 6 February, will see the launch of focus screenings worldwide and we share news of the movie release and details of how you might host a screening.
