Dutch Ladies Out for International Women's Day

The women of the Dutch royal family were out in full force on Wednesday, March 8, in support of International Women's Day.

Queen Beatrix was in Leeuwarden at the Natuurmuseum Fryslan, celebrating the 4th anniversary of the International Polar Year 2007/2008.

Daughter-in-law Crown Princess Maxima was at the Palace Church in The Hague at the opening of the Thousand and One Force project, which encourages women from ethnic minorities to engage in volunteer work.

And daughter-in-law number two, Princess Mabel was also in The Hague, at the Hague Academy near the Peace Palace where she attended a conference on World Female Day.

(Daughter-in-law number three, Princess Laurentien wasn't around on International Women's Day, but we did see her earlier in the week, on Monday in Utrecht, where she attended the opening of the Read and Write! (Lees en Schrijf!) program, which was founded by the ETV.nl foundation, an initiative to help adults who have problems with reading and writing.
