Soroptimists Advocate against Cluster Munitions

The best news possible for me this morning.

The UK ratified the new Cluster Munition Convention yesterday!

The following link from the UN has the details.

My sincere thanks to every Soroptimist in the UK who has supported the work to ban cluster munitions since we started this campaign in 2003! Your campaigning, organising petition signing, lobbying the UK government, raising public awareness and of course, organising those pyramids of shoes has helped to change the world. You have made a difference to the lives of future generations!

With grateful thanks to everyone
