Education is a human right, and Soroptimist from the South East Asia Pacific Federation spend time, energy and finances on education projects which empower individuals, embrace opportunities across the whole life cycle, shape and build strong communities strengthening bonds and fostering better understanding and perspectives.
Through various projects undertaken by Soroptimist clubs, individuals are empowered and communities are strengthened. From providing STEM workshops to unconventional teaching methods for immigrant women, these projects aim to shape and build strong communities.
Additionally, scholarships, educational resources, and financial assistance were provided to those in need.
The impact of education is highlighted, as each additional year of schooling can significantly improve lifetime earnings and reduce maternal deaths.
Soroptimists are determined to create positive change and let their voices be heard.
International Day of the Girl Child is an annual and internationally recognized observance on October 11 that empowers girls and amplifies their voices.
Like its adult version, International Women’s Day celebrated on March 8, International Day of the Girl Child acknowledges the importance, power, and potential of adolescent girls by encouraging the opening up of more opportunities for them.
At the same time, this day is designated to eliminate gender-based challenges that little girls face around the world, including child marriages, poor learning opportunities, violence, and discrimination.
It incorporates the Rights of the Child, 2011 recognition of Girls and 75th anniversary of Human Rights Declaration

Therefore, it is relevant to highlight education, especially as SDG4 refers to Quality Education, which leads to Decent work and Economic Growth (SDG8) On this years International Day of the Girl Child we specifically target Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) as women are under-represented studying and working in this field.

Advocacy involves acting or speaking on behalf of yourself or others to bring about change. It may be undertaken in a number of different ways such as meetings, letter writing, petitions - all identifying a case for change and often detailing what action you see achieving this change. It may be used at each of the various levels of government or to other organisations.
