the Meaning

Soroptimist

The name Soroptimist was coined from the Latin soror meaning sister, and optima meaning best. Therefore, Soroptimist is perhaps best interpreted as ‘the best for women’.

Our Values

The principles of Soroptimism are to strive for:

  • The advancement of the status of women

  • Equality, development and peace

  • The advancement of international understanding, goodwill and peace
