Members of SI Tamworth are Oranging the World and saying NO! to violence against women in 2022. We marked the start of 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence Campaign, by wearing something orange to our November dinner meeting.
The 25th November marks the UN International Day of the Elimination of Violence against Women, and the start of 16 Days of Activism against Gender Violence which ends on 10th December (Human Rights Day).
The colour orange symbolises a brighter future in a world free from violence against women.
On our Facebook page – www.facebook.com/SoroptimistTamworth members of SI Tamworth joined other Soroptimists across the world taking action and calling for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
We also decorated a tree at St Editha’s church as part of the Christmas tree festival. We would like to thank St Editha’s Church, Tamworth for supporting us and keeping the tree up during the 16 days of activism against women. When we took the tree down at the end of the 16 days of activism against violence on 10th December, a parishioner thanked the Club for our action in highlighting action against violence and providing a beacon of hope in St Editha’s.
