[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Soroptimist International is committed to end all form of violence which affects women and girls disproportionately. We believe gender-based violence to be a violation of human rights and that it affects the ability of women and girls to reach their full potential and participate in society.<\/p>\n

Members of SI Chester work closely with Chester Women’s Aid <\/a>and CSASS<\/a> (Chester Sexual Abuse Support Service).<\/p>\n

The work of Chester Women’s Aid (CWA) includes raising awareness of issues surrounding domestic abuse, monitoring the provision of services\u00a0 and supporting the availability of good quality accommodation for\u00a0women and girls who have experienced such abuse.\u00a0 They also provide grants to families where statutory sources cannot assist.<\/p>\n

One of our members acts as a link between the Club and the organisations, and all members support activities which include:<\/p>\n

Celebrating International Women’s Day<\/em> (March 8th) and White Ribbon Day<\/em> (25th November) when they raise awareness of domestic abuse and promote the involvement of men and boys in condemning such abuse, organised by CWA.<\/p>\n

Taking part in Reclaim the Night \/ Candle Light Vigil, organised by CSASS.<\/p>\n

Like many Soroptimists we collect bags with toiletries which we donate to our nearest Women’s Refuge on a regular basis and we attend events put on by these organisations to support their fundraising.<\/p>\n
