​Soroptimist was formed in 1921 in Oakland, California, at a time when women were not permitted to join service organizations. Our name, loosely translated from the Latin, means best for women. Today, we have about 160,000 members and supporters in 21 countries and territories. We are one of four federations that make up Soroptimist International, which has clubs in more than 120 countries throughout the world.

​Advocating for human rights and gender equality is at the heart of Soroptimist International’s advocacy work across six UN Centers, where our UN representatives ensure that the voices of women and girls are heard. Our members work on grassroots projects that help women and girls achieve their individual and collective potential, realize aspirations and have an equal voice in communities worldwide. Soroptimist, is particularly concerned with providing women and girls access to education, as this is the most effective path to self-determination.
