The majority of the My Red Light team and Management Board consists of people who share a background in sex work. And because your opinion matters to us, we are inviting all sex workers who are renting a window at My Red Light to voice their ideas on rental conditions, working conditions and other important issues.
We are always open to new ideas and new people. Feel free to offer your input by sending an email to info@myredlight.nl
