The Soroptimist International of Bangalore?
Yes. We are a group of women in management and the professions, working through social service projects to advance human rights and the status of women.
The name sounds like a mouthful.
Well, ‘Soroptimist’ traces its root from the Latin words ‘soror’ meaning ‘sister’ and optima meaning ‘best’, and loosely translates as "best for women".
Is it a global body?
Yes and no. We are the 13th club in India affiliated to a sisterhood of an international voluntary body called the Soroptimist International of Great Britain and Ireland (SIGBI).
