Everyone has the right to settle everywhere they'd like in the world, in safety.

It is with this philosophy that the Supportgroup Undocumented Women (SVZV) is trying to ameliorate the position of women who, for whatever reason, have become illegal. Think of victims of women’s trade, women who came here for social economic reasons, women who have applied for a residence permit before and have been denied, and women who ran away from a violent home and who lose their dependent residence permit.

These women, and their children, are in a difficult position and are being excluded from nearly all benefits and help in the Netherlands as a cause of the repressive immigration policies of the government. The Supportgroup works on helping these women to become more self reliant.

On this website you can find information on what the Supportgroup does, and on how you can help.
