Red Insight is run by current and former sex workers in the Netherlands. On this platform we share knowledge, news, artwork, and perspectives that come from our own communities.
Above all, this is a space for sex workers. We especially aim to amplify the voices of marginalized workers, within our communities and beyond. We also welcome people who are allies.
Our vision
We envision a world where our labour is recognized, where sex workers are respected and our rights are upheld. We envision a world of gender, racial, social and economic equality, where freedom of movement is a reality, enabling individuals to start, continue or leave sex work safely, and free from violence and coercion.
