The final report (three have already been published) is now available. Together they form a pretty \u00a0comprehensive report on how the Specialist Domestic Abuse Courts are working across the country.<\/p>\n<p>Soroptimists stand up as advocates for all women, but especially for those who have no voice. We acted as independent observers of these special courts as a way of helping the public to have confidence in them. But we also want to build public trust in our justice system by driving \u00a0improvements. The report contains our recommendations to that end.<\/p>\n<p>If real improvements are to be made, lawmakers and decision makers must act on the evidence in the Report.\u00a0 Please lobby your MP!<\/p>\n<h1>Orange the World campaign<\/h1>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/woking-and-district\/files\/2023\/05\/Orange-Cafe-May-2023.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6470\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/woking-and-district\/files\/2023\/05\/Orange-Cafe-May-2023-300x139.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/woking-and-district\/files\/2023\/05\/Orange-Cafe-May-2023-300x139.png 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/woking-and-district\/files\/2023\/05\/Orange-Cafe-May-2023.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re in a caf\u00e9 and you see a group of women wearing orange&#8230; If it&#8217;s the 25th of the month, you can be sure they aren&#8217;t wearing a company uniform or this season&#8217;s top fashion colour.\u00a0 <em>They are drawing attention to the urgent need to end violence against women and gi<\/em>rls.<\/p>\n<p>The Women Against Violence (VAWG) group of the Woking Soroptimist International Club is leading this effort in our town.\u00a0 It is inspired by the UNiTE Orange the World campaign to end violence against women and girls started by UN Women.\u00a0 Soroptimists are raising awareness with Orange Caf\u00e9 days across the UK.\u00a0 We all have to make efforts to push for women&#8217;s rights in every country.<\/p>\n<p>So next time you go for a coffee on the 25th, why not join the group and find out more?\u00a0 They are keeping a place for you!<\/p>\n<p>#OrangeDay<\/p>\n<h1>Volunteers Week<\/h1>\n<p>During the first week in June, the spotlight is on volunteers.\u00a0 We thank them all for the work they do and the tremendous help they give to our community.<\/p>\n<p>Our Soroptimist International members are all enthusiastic volunteers.\u00a0 Katharine recently received her long-service award from 2022-3 SIWD President Barbara Roddy, She has volunteered for 35 years as a member of our Woking Soroptimist Club!<\/p>\n<h1><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/woking-and-district\/files\/2023\/05\/KH-35-years-June-2023.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6479\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/woking-and-district\/files\/2023\/05\/KH-35-years-June-2023-300x270.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/woking-and-district\/files\/2023\/05\/KH-35-years-June-2023-300x270.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/woking-and-district\/files\/2023\/05\/KH-35-years-June-2023.jpg 606w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/h1>\n<h1>Disabled women and sexual health<\/h1>\n<p>&#8230;speaking of women&#8217;s rights, the BBC broadcast &#8216;The Conversation&#8217; featured two women talking about the rights and needs of disabled women.<\/p>\n<p>Listen to the broadcast <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/programmes\/w3ct4tvb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1>Plastic-Free Champions<\/h1>\n<p>A new initiative in Woking: positive recognition for businesses who reduce plastic.<\/p>\n<p>Woking Environment Action have announced Plastic-Free Champions in Horsell.
