November is the month when Soroptimists support UNiTE ‘s campaign to end violence against women and girls.
Our support started earlier in the year when we met up with friends and family to light a beacon.
On the 25th November Tamworth Soroptimists and family braved the cold to see Tamworth Castle bathed in Orange light to signify the first day of 16 of activism to raise awareness of violence against women. Information and advice posters linked to the event were also displayed in a wide range of venues across the town. The colour orange is used because it symbolises a brighter future, free of violence.
