This campaign was created for the Ministry of Justice and Security to raise awareness on the topic of prostitution in the Netherlands. Not everything is as it seems, in 'the red light' the world of prostitution often looks a lot more beautiful. In this campaign we unveil the truth by turning on the lights, making texts visible that tell the real story of different sex workers.
