NEWLIVES
NEWLIVES is a small but very ambitious Non-Governmental Organization, NGO. With a tailored empowerment concept we specialize in giving women with backgrounds in prostitution and women who are former victims of trafficking, a new self-image and strengthen these women in their way out of prostitution.
NEWLIVES has worked in the area of empowerment of women and anti-trafficking since 2007. The concept of NEWLIVES is created by volunteers and performed only by volunteers.
NEWLIVES' purpose is , through career coaching and other empowerment tools and other activities, to strengthen both foreign and Danish prostitutes to get out of prostitution by utilizing their personal skills and potential in new ways.
NEWLIVES also aims to raise awareness that trafficking also takes place in Denmark. In addition, the organization wants to share knowledge of trafficking to create a debate and focus on trafficking in Denmark and Europe.
