The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a milestone document in the history of human rights. It sets out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected. It has been translated into 500 languages and is the most translated document in the world. Women are entitled to the full and equal enjoyment of all of their human rights and to be free from all forms of discrimination. #Soroptimists Globally have human rights at the top of their agenda. #16daysofactivism. #Orangetheworld #Generationequality

As more women find space at the work place, and make positive progress towards leadership roles, they are faced with challenges. Women are targeted for their gender and for progressive roles they have adopted. Female employees suffer harassment. Laws of Prevention of Harassment at work place are in place but more needs to be done. #Soroptimists call for an end to violence against women NOW!

#Soroptimists will not tolerate sexual exploitation. We call for no tolerance to such violations of human dignity. Sexual exploitation is exploitation of a woman /girl and her body, and child sexual exploitation that leads to child prostitution. Such activity engrains stereotypes and often leads to harmful discrimination. Raise your voice against such exploitation. Join our movement and stand up for women and girls sigbi.org.  #Orangetheworld, at #Generationequality.

Today we rise for the hard toil and struggle of women in rural communities who compose almost 50% of the agricultural work force. This unpaid labour is coupled with their responsibilities to their homes. Gender-based discrimination and the suffering from the impact of climate change and disasters affect them disproportionately. Soroptimists call for equity and equality for rural women. #Orangetheworld, at #Generationequality.    

In 2022, the 16 Days of Activism Campaign is continuing its multi-year theme of Ending Femicide. To learn more, view the Femicide Advocacy Guide to learn more and sign the petition to declare December 6 the International Day to End Femicide. The campaign is also working closely with other CWGL initiatives to build on the previous multi-year theme on ending GBV in the world of work. The Global 16 Days Campaign, launched by the Center for Women’s Global Leadership (CWGL) and feminists from around the world at the first Women’s Global Leadership Institute in 1991, has been used worldwide to call for the elimination of gender-based violence (GBV). It is run annually from November 25 (International Day Against Violence Against Women) to December 10 (International Human Rights Day).

Soroptimist International is a volunteering organisation transforming lives of women and girls. This is also our Day when we with volunteers of the world celebrate the work for economic and social development in our communities. Such organizations work on peace, justice and embrace the Sustainable Development Goals. #16daysofactivism when we #Orangetheworld

#Soroptimists believe that child marriage is often the result of deeply entrenched gender inequalities. We, vouch for educating girls and crafting them to lead – marriage is a deterrent to those aims. Child marriage threatens the lives, the well-being and the future of girls. #Soroptimists will fight against this violation of child rights and for the education of girls so that they develop their full potential. #16daysofactivism when we #Orangetheworld
