We are delighted to announce that our National Project for 2025-2026 will focus on raising awareness and campaigning against human trafficking. This impactful project, proposed by SI Bray, received overwhelming support with almost 50% of the vote. We are particularly proud to share that all 15 clubs across Ireland participated in the decision-making process, with each club casting one vote. This unanimous engagement reflects the shared commitment of our members to tackle critical issues affecting women and girls.

Human trafficking is a grave violation of human rights, disproportionately affecting women and children. Through this project, we aim to:

    •    Raise public awareness of human trafficking and its impact on individuals and communities.

   •    Advocate for stronger measures to combat trafficking at local and national levels.

    •    Support survivors by working in collaboration with relevant organisations and stakeholders.

Soroptimists in Ireland have a proud history of empowering women, advocating for their rights, and taking action to create positive change. This project aligns deeply with our mission and values, ensuring we continue to address the most pressing issues in society.We look forward to working together with SI Bray, as a united network of clubs to make a meaningful impact through this National Project over the next two years.
