Domestic abuse can make you feel trapped — emotionally, physically, and mentally.

It’s not always easy to leave. Fear, control, financial dependence, children, shame — these are just some of the barriers survivors face.

But you are not alone. Support is available, and there is a way forward.

🚨Our world is failing women and girls.

30 years after the Beijing Declaration, progress on women’s rights has been too slow.

Rights are under attack. Opportunities are unequal. Justice is still out of reach.

This is UNACCEPTABLE.

We must stand up .

As International Women’s Day approaches, Soroptimists are shining a light on a critical event that plays a significant role in advancing women's rights: the UN’s Commission on the Status of Women (CSW).

CSW coincides with IWD, with the two events taking place in early March. Both put a spotlight on women’s issues, and both play a crucial role to drive action and improvements for women’s equality. We'll be attending CSW as world leaders, governments and NGOs gather to document the reality of women’s lives and shape global standards on gender equality and the empowerment of women.

The UN confirms that no country is close to gender equality despite signing a platform for action 30 years ago. There is still so much to do. Follow us here to see our reports from CSW and find our more about our actions and activity via our release https://sigbi.org/2025/csw-iwd-2025.
