Sixth form students and teachers at Rossett School in Harrogate turned orange as part of a global campaign to end violence against women and girls.

The students partnered with the Harrogate & District Soroptimists for 16 days of activism to end gender-based violence as part of the Orange the World Campaign.

The students developed a short presentation which focussed on three issues: female genital mutilation; violence against disabled women and a national day of remembrance.

Over each of the 16 days Harrogate & District Soroptimists have joined soroptimists worldwide in in promoting gender equality and calling for an end discrimination and the violation of human rights.

President Val Hills said:

"We are delighted to be working with Rossett School on the Sharing our Skills project. Younger people are our future. This is a fantastic example of how we educate, empower, and enable young women to find their voice.
"The students have embraced the challenge of their first project by spreading the word about important global issues that are around us in our communities every day."


Head of Rossett sixth form Mr Keyworth said:

“I am incredibly proud of all of the students for supporting Harrogate and District Soroptimists.
"The Orange the World Campaign with the 16 days of activism has given our students the opportunity to discuss, share and campaign in relation to these important issues. Students have had both assemblies and Personal Development lessons focussed solely on these issues.
"Educating students in these real world issues is vital for both the students' education and development, and also for the future and ending gender based violence".
