We have chosen four of the UN Days around which we will create a toolkit to be used by Clubs. Do get involved on social media to raise awareness and get our voices heard. Use our suggested messages, images and press releases.
The four days that have been chosen are: International Women’s Day, World Environment Day, SIGBI Day of Action and 16 Days of Activism.
We will create a toolkit for you to use for each of these four days.
The 16 Days of Activism against Gender based Violence take place between 25 November and 10 December each year.
2021 marks the 30th anniversary of the Global 16 Days Campaign. Inspired by the original vision and history of the Campaign, which focused on raising awareness about violence against women (VAW), and considering the continuing impunity for femicide, this year the Campaign will focus on the issue of “femicide or the gender-related killing of women.”
Please print the poster below (pictured above) and display in any local establishment that you can to raise awareness:
This toolkit consists of a poster (for printing and displaying), 17 images for use on social media, and social media messages to use each day.
Social Media messages relevant to each day of the 16 Days for Twitter, Facebook and Instagram are provided in the Word document below:
There are 17 images below. The first is an introductory image which can be used before the 16 Days, and there is one image for each of the days, with a relevant message, to accompany your social media post. Click on each image to open the large version, then right click on it and “Save As Image”:

This year, National Volunteers’ Week is running from Monday 1st June to Sunday 7th June.
Here is another opportunity to celebrate your volunteering work, sharing your stories on your websites and through social media channels. Whether you’re volunteering to support the NHS, other organisations or charities, or you are volunteering in your local community or supporting an international project, tell your story and use the logo and the hashtag #Soroptimistsvolunteer. If you tag us in on Facebook Soroptimist International GBI and on Twitter @SIGBI1 we will like, share and retweet too. And make sure you do the same for all the other posts you see from other Clubs, let’s let everyone know #Soroptimistsvolunteer. There are two versions of the logo below which you can use with your posts.
