Practical support for other women
Specialist Domestic Abuse Courts – How special were they in 2022?
For every professional who supports survivors of domestic abuse, please read the Soroptimist report. Soroptimists stand up as advocates for all women, especially for those who have no voice. We have volunteered as independent observers to give the public confidence in our courts, but we also want to drive improvement and our recommendations seek to help build public trust in our justice system.

Stafford is officially a Toilet Twinning Town
Flushing away poverty
Stafford Soroptimists have been spearheading sanitation and hygiene in developing countries by twinning toilets in Stafford to raise funds for change. Members and supporters have paid to twin their facilities, because 40% of the world’s population does not have access to clean water, sanitation and basic hygiene. As a result 700 children under the age of 5 die every day in developing nations. It’s in support of United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 6 which seeks to ensure safe drinking water and sanitation for all, focusing on the sustainable management of water resources, wastewater and ecosystems.
