Last Sunday, during the celebration of International Women's Day in The Hague, a number of people received a Pearl for 'their special contribution to promoting an equal position and equal participation of women and men in the city of The Hague.'

Susan de Boer, Elly Stoffel, Hanna Mitra Rambaran and Eveline van de Putte received a certificate from Mayor Pauline Krikke for their efforts in the LGBTI community.

COC Haaglanden warmly congratulates the Pink Pearls and thanks them for their tireless commitment to the city.

COC ambassador Roxanne van den Berg and Emancipation Ambassador Anita Chedi Shiwally also thank you very much for your contribution.
