I participate every year in The Big Plastic Count, as many #SoroptimistBristol members do, & every year it’s scary to see how much plastic we’ve used.
If more people joined this governments might take action.

A significant gender gap has persisted throughout the years at all levels of #STEM disciplines globally. Even though women have made tremendous progress towards increasing their participation in higher education, they are still under-represented in these fields. #WomenInScience #SoroptimistBristol

With more than 230 million women & girls affected globally by Female Genital Mutilation, including in Europe, the need for education, advocacy, & community-led solutions is great. FGM causes severe immediate & long term health complications. It violates human rights.

#SoroptimistBristol members had the 1st visit of the year as River Detectives at Blaise, part of the Bristol Avon Rivers Trust (BART) project. It was a magical experience with frost on the trees & vegetation and ice on the ponds.
It was worth going out early with our testing kits. #WaterPollution
