Over the past two years, women have been inspired through workshops, discussions and role models to discover their own talents to help them to earn money.

During the session, Maxima met women who had benefited from the programme.

She was also presented with a magazine featuring the success stories from the last two years by the Netherlands' Minister of Education, Culture and Science, Jan Bussemaker.

This is the second women's event this month for Queen Maxima.

In early November Maxima joined Crown Princess Mary of Denmark to attend the third World Conference of Women's Shelters.

She gave the outfit a pop of colour with a mustard, three-quarter sleeve top and accessorised with suede black stilettos.

Maxima was a keynote speaker at the prominent event that aimed to promote women’s financial independence, prevent domestic violence and offer solutions to women who have experienced violence.

This is the second women's event this month for Queen Maxima (right). In early November Maxima joined Crown Princess Mary of Denmark(left) to attend the third World Conference of Women's Shelters.

In her speech, Queen Maxima addressed the issue of domestic violence on a global scale and said: 'everyone has the right to a life without violence'.

She acknowledged Princess Mary's work in the field through the Mary Foundation.

'The presence of Crown Princess Mary gives this conference an extra dimension,' she said.

'For eight years now you have been active as chair of the Mary Foundation, and you give women the courage to break out of the circle of violence.'
