Countervail Group was established in 2015 with the mission to maximize freedom and justice for women and children who are victims of sexual violence, commercial sexual exploitation, and human trafficking. We do this by partnering financially with local organizations that have been working in Amsterdam’s Red Light District (RLD) for many years.
Women working in the windows of Amsterdam's RLD are enslaved, abused, and exploited.
“For there is hope for a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that its shoots will not cease. Though it’s root grow old in the earth, and its stump die in the soil, yet at the scent of water it will bud and put out branches like a young plant.” Job 14:7-9
Your support is helping these women begin charting a new course in life. We are seeing scholarships provided, training courses established, relationships with women trapped in the RLD strengthened, lives changed, and the good news of the Gospel being proclaimed.
Countervail Group is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
