Representatives from Soroptimist International can request agenda items, submit written statements for circulation to all members of the council, make oral statement at meetings and contribute to other UN gatherings and seminars. It is in this forum that Soroptimist representatives can advocate for the Soroptimist mission of advancing the status and human rights of women and girls.
