This month, on the International Day of the Girl Child, Soroptimist International South East Asia Pacific proudly stands with the global community to champion the rights, voices, and potential of girls everywhere. Each year, this day reminds us of the urgent need to remove barriers that prevent girls from realising their full potential and to create spaces where they can thrive as leaders, change-makers, and contributors to society.
The United Nations theme for 2025, “Invest in Girls’ Rights: Our Leadership, Our Well-being,” calls on all of us to recognise that girls are not only beneficiaries of development but also powerful agents of change. When we invest in girls—through education, skills training, mentorship, and safe environments—we invest in healthier communities, stronger economies, and a brighter future for all.
At Soroptimist International South East Asia Pacific, we remain deeply committed to empowering girls to dream boldly, learn confidently, and lead courageously. Our programmes and advocacy continue to focus on education, leadership development, work readiness, and protection from gender-based violence.
Soroptimist International is a global movement of women, with members belonging to more than 3,000 clubs in 126 countries/territories, spread over 5 Federations
