Why Women & Girls?
It's true that both men and women live in poverty, face discrimination and must overcome obstacles. But throughout history—in every country in the world—women and girls face additional obstacles and discrimination solely because of their gender.

Soroptimist Pin
The woman in the Soroptimist emblem represents the spirit of womanhood. The leaves and acorns of the oak signify the strength and growth of our organization, and future progress and achievements. The leaves of the laurel symbolize friendship and success. The pin is to be worn, by itself, over your heart.
