The St Albans Soroptimists will be busy turning the world orange again this year between 25 November – 10 December with buildings all over Hertfordshire lighting up orange and people wearing orange raise awareness of 16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence. It is a call to action and to raise awareness at a local, national, and international level about violence against women and girls.
