\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>This was the theme of Regional President Dorcas’s successful conference in May 2022. Conference chair, Sandy Taylor of SI Crosby, sums up this wonderful day!<\/p>\n

The conference, entitled \u201cWomen Supporting Women – Together we can\u201d, was two years in the planning
\nby Regional President Dorcas, a member of SI Liverpool club.\u00a0 Dorcas led 8 months of committee meetings , was\u00a0 supported by 62
\ndelegates, 10 Stewards, 9 speakers & a choir which made up the\u00a0 conference. The conference covered the 5 ‘P’s of Soroptimism:
\nPeople
\nWe heard from Canon DR Rod Gardner how Josephine Butler was a women ahead of her time trying to raise
\nawareness of human trafficking in the 1900\u2019s . She would have made an excellent
\nSoroptimist! Daphne Franks talked of how from the tragedy of her mother being coerced that she is
\nchanging the law on Predatory marriage!
\nPartnership
\nDr Gillian Aston and members from SWACA (Sefton Women’s and Children’s Aid)\u00a0 talked about how working together and raising awareness of
\ndomestic violence and how working with multi-agencies strengthens the work they do.
\nAnnette from our club\u00a0 described her work involved with human trafficking, how agencies are looking to educate us on
\nhow to become more vigilant in observing what is around us and the signs to look out for, added to this –
\neducating us on how we can assist.
\nAimee & Angie from the Liverpool Hospital Trust (formerly \u201cR\u201d Charity) discussed the progress on the
\nSoroptimist room for women who may have experienced domestic violence. The hope is that this room
\nwill provide a safe environment for women at a very fraught and difficult time. Four Clubs in our Region
\nBootle, Crosby, Liverpool & Southport have worked together on this, partnership at its best!
\nPlanet
\nYou may not have noticed but we tried very hard to recycle and reuse, borrowed lanyards and the bags
\ncontaining delegate information were paper – recyclable!
\nProsperity
\nWorking with Lunt meadows is a green project that has developed over time and allows people to learn
\nabout the environment, share ideas and assist with wellbeing and mental health.
\nPeace
\nAbby from SI Crosby described her personal journey to gaining peace and acceptance from family about the role of women
\nwho are facing inequality and cultural differences. PCC Emily Spurrel described how taking a gendered
\napproach to gender-based violence against women and girls is a priority.
\nThe day was brought to an uplifting end by the Mersey Voices Choir, followed by tea & scones – always a great way to end the day.
\nI would like the opportunity to thank President Dorcas for her faith in me as the Conference Chair.
\nThis conference could not have come about without the hard work and commitment of the committee
\nmembers; Anne Grimes Chief Steward, Debra Curtis Registrar, Pat Williams Treasurer
\nPlease do look to support the next Conference which will be in 2024<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
