On March 8, International Women’s Day, Soroptimist International of Borrego Springs gathered across from Christmas Circle to walk in support of women’s rights and equality. Community members, both women and men, joined the walk to show their commitment to empowering women and girls.


Walking with Purpose


Participants carried signs with messages like “Real Men Support Women’s Rights” and “Empower Women, Empower the World.” The group stood together to advocate for gender equality and celebrate women’s contributions.


Standing Strong in the Community


Some wearing their blue Soroptimist shirts, members connected with the community and shared their mission of supporting women and girls. Soroptimist programs provide scholarships, career guidance, and resources to help local women succeed.
