This October marks another month of Domestic Violence Awareness in efforts to protect, educate, and support women and girls. Education can be the pathway to a different life, empowering women in multiple ways. See how you can help survivors and how the Live Your Dream Awards have impacted past recipients.

Purple Thursday is a national day of action during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Individuals across the nation will wear purple on Thursday, October 20, to show survivors that there is a community of support surrounding them and fighting for them.

October 24 commemorates the day the United Nations formed to join countries around a common cause of peace, prosperity, and positive change—similar to Soroptimist’s founding mission. See how Soroptimist helps elevate the UN’s goals.

Since the time of our first SIA President, Violet Richardson, we’ve worked to improve the lives of women and girls like Mai, who told us her story of how the Live Your Dream Awards changed her life…

Happy Founders Day! The first Soroptimist club was founded on October 3, 1921, in Oakland, California, USA. Now 101 years later, we continue to honor Violet’s incredible legacy with the first annual Violet Richardson Month of Giving!

Congratulations to clubs celebrating a milestone anniversary during the month of October!
