Soroptimist International Durban

Soroptimist International Durban SI Durban is a vibrant, dynamic organisation for today’s professional women. Soroptimist is perhaps best interpreted as 'the best for women'.

We inspire action and create opportunities to transform the lives of women and girls through a global network of members and international partnerships. The name Soroptimist was coined from the Latin soror meaning sister, and optima meaning best. From the founding of the first Soroptimist club in Oakland, California, in 1921, through to the present day where over 3000 clubs are flourishing through

out the world, Soroptimists have continued to strive to achieve 'the best for women' in every sphere of their lives.

We, at Soroptimist International Durban, were privileged to have our President, Avasha Singh , engage with incredible women of Soroptimist Indian Rock.

What stood out most was the powerful alignment in our missions and the genuine spirit of sisterhood.

Moments like these remind us that when women come together with intention, the impact reaches far beyond borders.

Looking forward to growing this connection into a lasting partnership that continues to uplift and empower women everywhere. 💖✨️

Sorosptimist International Durban would like to sincerely thank Soroptimist International of Indian Rock for a wonderful opportunity extended to our Club President, Avasha Singh, as a special guest and present to their members.

It was truly an honor to connect, share, and engage with such an inspiring group of women committed to making a difference.

On Saturday, 7 March, SI Durban met for a team‑build, and we wore purple as a quiet promise: to turn rights into justice and words into action.
President Avasha Singh reminded us that sisterhood is the strength behind every promise we make to uplift women and girls, and we felt it as we gathered for reflection and painted our “Mandala of Sisterhood."

We honor women and girls everywhere not just today, but every day - by mentoring, listening, and building spaces where they can lead and thrive. That’s our spirit in motion.

Happy International Women’s Day to all women claiming their power and rewriting what’s possible. 💜

🟠🌍 From 25 November to 10 December, Soroptimist International of Europe is calling on everyone to of Cyberviolence.

For the second year in a row, we are shining a light on a growing and urgent issue: cyberviolence against women. The violence women face offline doesn’t stop at the screen. It continues through online harassment, doxxing, deep fakes, and threats. Cyberviolence is real violence.

This year’s campaign will help you:
• Recognise the signs of cyberviolence
• Stay cyber safe
• Know what to do if cyberviolence happens
• Start conversations with family, colleagues, and children

Over the next 16 days, we’ll share practical tools and guidance to help make digital spaces safer for all women and girls.

Share this post to raise awareness. Together, we can make online spaces safer for everyone.

World Mental Health Day takes place every year on 10 October. It’s a reminder of the importance of good mental health and the need to prioritise and invest in good mental health.

This year's theme is 'access to services - mental health in catastrophes and emergencies'. The theme highlights the importance of people being able to protect their mental health in times of global instability.💚

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women globally and represents approximately a quarter of all cancers that occur in women every year.

With 1 in 6 cancer deaths in women worldwide, breast cancer is also the leading cause of cancer deaths among women globally.

Breast cancer is highly curable if detected in its early stages and adequate treatment is provided.
