We were delighted to be part of a very stimulating event today, International Women’s Day 2025, at Bristol City Hall.
There were many exhibits of interest, good talks, colourful dances and interesting stalls held by many charities, including Next Link – a charity that we support and worked with for a while.
Soroptimist Bristol was well represented by Bridget, to whom we owe a big thank you for the organisation of our stall, Gish, Sharon, Sally B, Ivete, Yvonne, Lynda, Lizzie, Lucy, Sue P, Marion, Helen and Laurence.
It was an excellent day and an opportunity to meet many known and many new people to talk about our projects and how Soroptimists advocate on women’s issues. We generated a lot of interest in our projects and were able to show a short video illustrating our work to interested parties.
Women have continuously shaped history and continue to pave the way for a brighter future.
On this special day, let’s celebrate the courageous women who have inspired us, supported us, and stood by us. Let’s also acknowledge the challenges many women still face and commit to being allies in the fight for gender equality and women’s rights.
With the 69th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women under way between 10th – 21st March, Soroptimists throughout the world reaffirm our focus on women’s rights, equality and empowerment. We are proud to be participants of #CSW69 at the UN in New York.
