As minister of internal affairs, Kuyper sought to provide legal protection against employment agencies and unscrupulous individuals who used false promises of employment to mislead young women arriving from the countryside into prostitution (cf. 1903.14, pp. 862–863). After consulting with the queen’s commissioners in the northeast and the southwest of the country, as well as with the mayors of the four largest cities in the western part of the country, Kuyper drew up three measures to prevent deception and fraud. While working on this issue, Kuyper asked the Dutch Women’s Federation for the Advancement of Moral Awareness for its opinion. The letter was subsequently printed in the federation’s monthly magazine.

A similar letter was also sent to the Dutch Society for the Protection of the Interests of Young Girls and the Roman Catholic Society for the Protection of Girls.
