STOP Human Trafficking: 2009 Community Forum Series
In support of our mission to end violence against women and girls, Soroptomist hosted a community forum series to stop human trafficking. Topics discussed were:
North Carolina has many of the characteristics that attract and promote an environment for human trafficking: tourism, agriculture, military presence, and interstate highways. While major steps towards preventing human trafficking have been taken, it is imperative that all of us commit to work together to limit, and ultimately, end this plague on our society. As active participants in the life of our community, your awareness and support are important to these efforts. Together we can establish a sustainable anti-trafficking movement within our state.

Ending Violence Against Women
Ending Domestic Violence is another key Soroptimist focus area. Besides supporting the annual Workplace Campaign to End Domestic Violence, the Raleigh club partners with Interact, a private, non-profit, United Way agency that provides safety, support, and awareness to victims and survivors of domestic violence and rape/sexual assault. We also collaborate with local organizations such as, StoriesWork, and Peace at Work to promote domestic violence awareness as a workplace concern.
About Peace at Work
Since 2003, Peace at Work has been committed to violence prevention, in and through, workplace interventions. Their mission is to provide the tools and resources to employers and their workers to prevent violence before it starts, identify and reduce potential threats and provide support to employee victims of violence. The workplace 
has been chosen as the intervention setting because 1.) it is primary place to reach a range and vast scale of people, 2.) employers have tremendous influence on the lives and views of its workers, and 3.) it is an environment where people can learn healthy relationship skills.
