#walkthetalkmackay 2018

Take a Journey through our Photo Video with members of Soroptimist International of Mackay promoting “Respect” as part of the 16 Days of Activism advocacy programme “Orange the World #Hear Me Too”  

Check out our video HERE

Soroptimists are encouraged to use this time to advocate for an END to violence against women and girls. 

Soroptimist International of Mackay is conducting a Walk the Talk activity promoting “Respect” to each other. One of our guest speakers throughout the year spoke on the topic "Respectful Relationships" that resonated through our members would be of great value to our community. 

From this the Club decided to embrace the theme of "Respectful Relationships" for our "Walk the Talk" program held during the 16 days of activism to eliminate Violence against Women from November 25, International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women to December 10  International Human Rights Day. 

  

Members Leanne, Maria, President Jenny and Wendy walked the town inviting local businesses to help us promote our “Respect” programme.  

We were embraced by businesses throughout our beautiful city, when asked to display one of our respect signs. 

Each sign has a different message on ways to show “Respect”, we are looking forward to the conversation during this 16days of Activism. So when you are walking throughout the city you will find signs promoting “Respect”, don't just walk by, stop and reflect and send us a pic. 

Each day we will highlight one of the signs on our Facebook page, please share around with your Facebook community. 

Look out for the signs at the following businesses, take a photo (don't forget to add your smiling face) and share with us @SIMackayNQ Please like & share to #walkthetalkmackay by promoting “Respect” to help end violence.
