🌈 Pride Month 2026 🌈

This Pride Month, Soroptimist International Republic of Ireland stands in solidarity with LGBTQ+ communities across Ireland and around the world.

As Soroptimists, we are committed to a world where all people can live with dignity, equality, and freedom from discrimination. These values are at the heart of everything we do. We believe that every person deserves to be safe, respected, valued, and empowered to reach their full potential.

Pride is both a celebration and a reminder. It is a celebration of identity, diversity, resilience, and progress. It is also a reminder that many LGBTQ+ people continue to face barriers, prejudice, and inequality in their daily lives.

As an organisation dedicated to educating, empowering, and enabling women and girls, we recognise that inclusion must extend to all members of our communities. We are stronger when diversity is embraced, when voices are heard, and when everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

This month, we celebrate the contributions, achievements, and experiences of LGBTQ+ people. We reaffirm our commitment to creating communities where everyone is welcomed, respected, and able to live authentically.

Together, we can continue to build a more equal, inclusive, and compassionate world.

Happy Pride Month.

More than 120 women from across Ireland gathered in Drogheda for the 58th Soroptimist North South Conference.

The event, hosted at the Marcy Hotel, was organised by National President Siobhán Matthews alongside Drogheda Soroptimist Club President Margaret Geraghty and members of the local club.

This year’s conference explored the theme “Health, Wealth and Politics – The Future Role for Women in Ireland” and brought together speakers from politics, finance, equality, advocacy and civic leadership.

A celebratory lunch was also held to mark the 60th anniversary of the formation of Soroptimist organisations in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

The conference focused on issues including political representation, women’s health, financial independence, equality and leadership, while highlighting the importance of ensuring women’s voices remain central in shaping the future of Ireland.

We were delighted to brief Ambassador Fergal Mythen on our project “Hidden in Plain Sight” and speak about the work we have been doing on human trafficking. We spoke about what can be done in international collaboration and policy and shared our hope for the project outcomes. We also met with the team from the mission, Fiona and Caoimhe who spoke about their work on human rights in the UN and ways to collaborate and share our experiences. Thank you Fergal for giving your time this afternoon and for full engaging discussion on this critical issue.
