How did Soroptimist International Australia impact the lives of women and girls in 2025?

Soroptimist International Hobart members Annie and president Wendy proudly joined the Walk Against Elder Abuse in Hobart, organised by COTA Tasmania. The event brought together community members to raise awareness of the importance of respecting, valuing and protecting older people. It was a wonderful opportunity to stand alongside others committed to promoting dignity, inclusion and safety for older Tasmanians.

Elder abuse can take many forms, including physical, emotional, financial and social abuse, as well as neglect. It most commonly occurs in relationships where there is an expectation of trust and can have a significant impact on a person’s wellbeing, independence and quality of life. In Australia, it is estimated that around one in six older people living in the community experience some form of abuse each year, with older women particularly vulnerable to certain forms of abuse, including financial abuse.

By raising awareness and encouraging respectful relationships, we can all play a part in creating communities where older people are valued, supported and treated with the dignity and respect they deserve.

Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.
