Weston’s Soroptimists marked International Women’s Day via a Zoom call - raising their hands in a show of support and signifying solidarity.
They listened to a presentation from Jayne Whittlestone, of Next Link, about how women at high risk of domestic abuse are able to access the women’s refuges in the town.
A spokesman for the group said: “The Soroptimist aim is to make a difference to the lives of women and girls worldwide and during these lockdown times we continue to make a difference where we can.
“Our other recent focus, Soroptimists Railing Against Abuse, has been raising awareness about violence against women particularly domestic abuse.
