Recognising Coercive Control Online Toolkit

#somethingdoesntfeelright

Daphne White, an educator and consultant from Geraldton, WA, was the recipient of the 2021 Stella Giles Award for Achievement, an initiative by Soroptimist International of Western Australia. Daphne used the funding from this award to develop a free “Recognising Coercive Control” online toolkit that individuals or organisations can use to raise awareness of domestic and family violence and coercive control. Practitioners can also use it to share information with clients to help them identify patterns of tactics and behaviours of abuse or for education in secondary schools.

The toolkit launched on 30th November 2022, on Day 6 of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-based Violence.

Environment focus for SI Lautoka’s Saturday of Service

Soroptimist International Lautoka club members decided on an environmental activity as a service to the City for this year's Saturday of Service program on Saturday, 1st March. The club collaborated with the Lautoka City Council to provide services for a cleanup program on one of the city's busiest streets.

Members and well-wishers started the clean-up along Drasa Avenue from 7 am to 9 am.  The Lautoka police station and a prominent high school are located along this street, and it is the main entry to Lautoka City from Ba and Nadi.

SI Lautoka members and their families picked up rubbish and cans along the street, which had become an eyesore. Members spent two hours of quality time cleaning the street. The rubbish was packed in garbage bags and disposed in the bins provided by the City Council.  The Special Administrator for Lautoka City Council, Mr Ajay Kumar, thanked the members for their initiative and hoped to see many more such initiatives for the city in future.

SI Lautoka club President Sarita Kumar was happy with the turnout for the clean-up and thanked the members and well-wishers for their time. The club plans to carry out more environmental projects this year, such as mangrove and tree planting, as well as 3R projects like Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.
