We are proud that Soroptimist representatives are working at the UN to help make equality for women worldwide a reality.

“Equality is not a dream. It’s a decision.
At the UN, it’s a decision we made — and we are a stronger Organization for it.”

At the UN Security Council on Tuesday, Secretary-General António Guterres called on leaders to turn equality into action — by ensuring women and girls’ full, equal and meaningful participation in peace processes, investing in women-led organizations and upholding women’s rights.

💜Standing with Survivors, Always.

The Doña Ana Board of County Commissioners recognizes October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month, joining communities nationwide in moving from awareness to action. Together, with local organizations like La Casa Inc., we can help connect survivors with resources, promote healthy relationships, and build a safer community for everyone.

Join us by standing with survivors at La Casa's annual Candlelight Vigil on Thursday, Oct. 15, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Mesilla Community Center, 2251 Calle de Santiago, Mesilla, NM 88046. This gathering offers an opportunity to honor survivors, remember lives impacted by domestic violence, and show our support.

Belief is not something survivors should have to earn.

Women and girls should not have to tell the perfect story to be taken seriously or carry the burden of exposing violence, demanding justice and changing the systems that failed them.

Survivors deserve to be heard. Survivors deserve support. Survivors deserve justice.

Break the silence. Believe survivors. Bring perpetrators to justice.

There's not to.

WE ARE NOT JUST A LOCAL CLUB.

This July, Soroptimist International was in Geneva, at the table, not just in the room, for the UN's first-ever Global Dialogue on AI Governance, the WSIS Forum, and the AI for Good Global Summit. Our delegation led a high-level roundtable on Women in AI: Leadership, Innovation and Growth and convened our own event, All Women and Girls Are Architects of a Safe Digital Future.

Why it matters: Women make up less than a third of the global AI workforce, and nearly all sexually explicit deepfakes online target women and girls. AI is already shaping our kids' education and relationships — often faster than policy can keep up.

As SI put it: "The eight-year-old girl of today will inherit the digital world we are building now. Our responsibility is to ensure that she inherits one that is safe, inclusive, equitable, and full of opportunity."

Read the full story:

AI is no longer simply a technological issue. It is an issue of equality, human rights, economic opportunity, safety, education, and leadership. Ensuring that all women and girls are active architects of the digital future is now an essential part of our mission.
