Advocacy in Action- Soroptimists Submit papers to the UN

The Programme Team has been hard at work in the Advocacy area of SI. We have submitted several exciting reports to the UN, including a submission to the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights for a study on children and migration, where we highlight our work on trafficking in Moldova (Hope and Dreams for Everyone), and a submission to UNESCO on the Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence for the Children of the World, where we showcase our work in post-war Sierra Leone through Project SIerra. The team has also written new guidelines for Soroptimists to undertake their own advocacy in their own communities. All of this and more will be available on SI’s website (www.soroptimistinternational.org) in the coming weeks!

Thanks so much for your enthusiasm! This particular post was just to let Soroptimist Supporters from around the world know about our recent work. But you can now visit www.soroptimistinternational.org and click on the 'Act Now' button at the top of the page for information on campaigning and supporting our advocacy efforts.

Thanks again!
