72,000 Soroptimists Worldwide
There are nearly 72,000 Soroptimists worldwide, the majority of whom belong to their local Club, where they can make friends with like-minded women, have fun and work on projects that help improve the lives of women and girls locally, nationally and internationally.
Soroptimist International Great Britain and Ireland (SIGBI) also offers Associate Membership, for busy women who believe in what we do but do not have the time to get involved in Club activities.
Soroptimist International (SI) has General Consultative Status and SIGBI has Special Consultative Status at the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) at the United Nations (UN). This gives us a voice on important discussion papers, and allows us to attend the Commission on the Status of Women in New York each March, contributing to the “Agreed Conclusions”. This status would not be possible without the fantastic work being done by our Members.
You can read more about our work to improve the lives of women and girls in line with our charitable objects at https://sigbi.org/what-we-do/our-work/
Join Us and help us to Make That Difference to Women and Girls worldwide.
