NEWLIVES – Inspiring your future
www.newlives.dk
NEWLIVES has been in existence for 19 years. It is a non-religious, non-political, non-profit network comprising individuals with professional backgrounds in management, business, law, marketing, cultural and social work, and human resource management. Everyone at NEWLIVES works on a purely voluntary basis.
Through our tailored empowerment concept, we specialize in helping women with a background in prostitution—including former victims of human trafficking—develop a new self-perception and gain the strength to leave prostitution behind.
We strive to make a small, yet vital, difference in the life of another human being.
In 2011, NEWLIVES proudly received a humanitarian award for its dedicated work in empowering, coaching, and guiding both foreign and Danish women.
