Human trafficking is the exploitation by force, fraud or coercion of vulnerable people - often immigrants - for forced labor, domestic servitude, or commercial sex operations. Human trafficking has become a multi-billion dollar global crime impacting nations - and neighborhoods - around the world. Florida is one of the highest destination states for women and children trafficked into the United States. In the past 5 years, law enforcement and social service providers have identified multiple cases of human trafficking in the Clearwater and Pinellas County Florida area.

SI Largo's members are very concerned about domestic violence, particularly now – in these times of additional financial stress. Club members have distributed over 90,000 ”Loves me, Loves me Not” bookmarks without charge and have been told that the message imprinted on them has saved lives. We have added ”Teen Dating Rights” and ”Keeping Women Safe at Work” handouts to our Campaign arsenal. It is our goal to continue to print and distribute these bookmarks throughout Pinellas County; also to encourage other Soroptimist Clubs around the world to do the same. If you would like to have a supply of these bookmarks, please contact us at info@LargoSoroptimists.org telling us where they will be distributed and how many you would like to have.
At our Annual Planning Meeting held in June of each year, members select community service projects that address current local needs and reach out to women in the world. SI Largo has chosen Pinellas Village as our ”Identifying Community Service Project” for this club year.
Pinellas Village is a 120 unit apartment complex for single parent families who are working towards economic and emotional self-sufficiency through education, training and supportive family services.
