\nGolden hedgerow flowers – You may not see them, but they’re there…<\/a><\/h2>\n

Soroptimists too are not always visible in their community…<\/a><\/h2>\n

Since the 1995 Fourth World Conference on Women, Beijing China and the adoption of the Platform for Action,\u00a0 \u00a0the UN Commission on the Status of Women (now UN Women) has sought to improve every<\/em> aspect of life for women<\/h1>\n

During 1995-2000, there were many ‘historic firsts’\u00a0 for girls and women<\/h2>\n

Dame Stella Rimington, first woman to lead the UK’s Security Service MI5<\/h2>\n

Women allowed to serve on Royal Navy Submarines<\/h2>\n

Many more girls entered primary education<\/h2>\n

____________<\/p>\n

Since 1976 SI Woking has supported a wide range of projects and charities, at home and abroad. They include:<\/h3>\n

SOS Children\u2019s Village, Mamelodi (South Africa) –\u00a0 Mary\u2019s Meals Backpack Project<\/h3>\n

See Solar- Cook Solar –\u00a0Purple Community Fund (Sri Lanka\/Africa)\u00a0 \u00a0– Smalls for All<\/h3>\n

Meru Women\u2019s Garden Project<\/h3>\n

<\/h2>\n

Railway Station Survey 2026<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

SI Woking took part in this survey by the our Soroptimist International federation (SIGBI), so we are glad to see the published results.\u00a0 But those results show that safty for women needs to be better.<\/p>\n

FIFA World Cup<\/h2>\n

The football championship is exciting and a great experience for everyone…or is it?<\/p>\n

Cervical Cancer Awareness Week – 16-21 June 2026<\/h2>\n

Read the Soroptimists International national federation article –\u00a0 https:\/\/sigbi.org\/2026\/cervical-screening-awareness-week\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Recognition for Women Past and Present<\/h2>\n

This month, our Communication Officer met members of SI Sunderland in the National Glass Centre – an opportunity to exchange experiences and thoughts about the future.\u00a0 But also to look back at the past.\u00a0 Sunderland Soroptimists, after a long campaign, have raised a statue to the wonderful women who worked in the shipyards during World War II when the men were away fighting.<\/p>\n

Molly the Welder stands proudly on the quayside as a\u00a0 tribute to them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Many Sunderland women past and present are celebrated in a current Sunderland Museum\u00a0 exhibition: ‘ Rebel Women of Sunderland’.\u00a0 Florence Collard is there, another woman who worked in the shipyards, carrying out vital work.\u00a0 Abbie Robinson is an example of present-day women breaking barriers: she is the first blind woman to represent Britain in competitive paraclimbing.<\/p>\n

International recognition: Professor Sarah A. Teichmann of the University of Cambridge is the 2026 L\u2019Or\u00e9al\u2013UNESCO For Women in Science International Laureate for Europe. She is Chair of Stem Cell Medicine at Cambridge University.<\/p>\n
