On Wednesday, Queen Maxima visited Blijf Groep in Almere. This year marks fifty years since the first “Stay-of-My-Life Home”, the predecessor of the Blijf Groep/Stay Group, opened and offered women's shelter in the Netherlands. 

Queen Maxima visited one of their Orange Houses to learn more about their work with various care providers and employees. She also met with a resident and their care provider. She also learned more about the project The New Future which aims to guide women who have experienced domestic violence into the labor market. 

Queen Maxima wore a Max Mara suit with her Gianvito Rossi pumps.
