Soroptimist International Great Britain and Ireland<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Best Practice Award for Advocacy 2024\/25 \u2013 Awarded to Soroptimist Belfast (Nov 2025)<\/h2>\n

Project: 16 Days of Activism \u2013 Ending Violence Against Wome<\/strong>n<\/h3>\n

A banner campaign was launched on International Women\u2019s Day. Club members and volunteers throughout Belfast trained to make fabric banners with hand sewn messages, such as: You are beautiful, It\u2019s not your fault, You are not alone, Stop Domestic Abuse, Women\u2019s Aid (including telephone number), We believe you, etc.<\/p>\n

To enable the production of banners, workshops were held in a range of locations in Belfast. This was a collaborative campaign with a diverse range of individuals and groups, including a Men\u2019s Prison, Women\u2019s Groups, Community Groups, White Ribbon and Women\u2019s Aid. All 600 banners were made with sustainability in mind, using recycled materials. Banners were displayed in Belfast Community Centres and Libraries during the 16 Days of Activism (25 Nov-10 Dec 2024). Two MLA constituency Offices also displayed the banners.<\/p>\n

The aim of the project was to raise awareness of the growing problem of \u2018Violence Against Women\u2019 particularly in Northern Ireland. SI Belfast are delighted to be recognised with this Best Practice Award.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_images_carousel images=”5530,5518,5517,5516,5515″ img_size=”large” autoplay=”yes”][vc_separator color=”blue”][vc_single_image image=”5490″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Disposable nappies which have been donated by SI Belfast to Flourish Charity (May 2025).<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
