The Relationship Between the United Nations and Soroptimist

“Women’s economic empowerment is at the heart of the 2030 Agenda. We will not achieve the Sustainable Development Goals if there is no accelerated action to empower women economically. We know that women’s participation in all spheres of life, including in the economy, is essential to sustainable and durable peace and to the realization of human rights.” — UN SECRETARY-GENERAL GUTERRES, MARCH 2017

Accelerating economic empowerment for women and girls who have encountered obstacles – the focus of Soroptimist International of the America’s Dream Programs – is rooted in the agenda for women’s equality outlined by the United Nations. Central to this agenda is the Convention to End All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (1981), the Beijing Platform for Action (1995), and most recently, the Sustainable Development Goals (2016).
