SOROPTIMISTS RAILING AGAINST ABUSE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Local women raise awareness of domestic abuse <\/strong><\/p>\n

There are many United Nations special days each year, but the one that matters to Soroptimist International of Weston-super-Mare (SI Weston) is 25th<\/sup> November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, when the theme is ORANGE.<\/p>\n

On this day, for the past three years, supported by Tara Newley Arkle and Soroptimists of the South West Region, the women of SI Weston have drawn attention to domestic abuse.\u00a0 We dress in orange and hand out \u2018Loves me, Loves me not\u2019 bookmarks.\u00a0 These bookmarks include a checklist to help young people understand that they do not have to tolerate persistent abuse or controlling behaviour in a relationship.\u00a0 They are already in use by many North Somerset schools.<\/p>\n

Last year we were joined at the Lord Mayor\u2019s chapel in Bristol by Dame Joan Collins, who spoke movingly about her own experiences.<\/p>\n

This year, 2018, we are planning an event in Weston-super-Mare itself, in order to support Gemini services, an organisation responsible for the women\u2019s refuge and other assistance for domestic abuse survivors in and around the town.<\/p>\n

Once again we shall be getting support from other Soroptimist clubs in the region, whose members will be arriving at Weston railway station.\u00a0 We will all walk through Weston, along the High Street, distributing bookmarks.\u00a0 When we reach Grove Park we will attach orange bows to the railings around the fountain.\u00a0 Each bow represents one of the women killed by their partners over the previous year.\u00a0We will then move to the flower bed in the park that commemorates women who have been killed by their partners, where a stunning new sculpture will be unveiled.<\/p>\n
