Soroptimist International – an open letter

“Soroptimist International started 2020 filled with excitement and hope, this year we would celebrate the 75th anniversary of the United Nations, the 25th anniversary of both the Copenhagen declaration and the Beijing Platform for Action, and the 5th anniversary of the 2030 Agenda (SDGs).

In a flash our world changed and during recent days we have observed senseless acts of racism as well as blatant violence against peaceful demonstrators and attacks against the Press, which saddens and disheartens us all. As a global organisation we, Soroptimist International strongly believe in Freedom of Speech and Peaceful Assembly that are fundamental rights in the UN Declaration of Human Rights…” SI President, Sharon Fisher

    I believe you should have also mentioned the violence against the police which was also unjustified.
