Dear All,

We are honored to introduce you to our secret club in Genoa, a safe self-managed place designed specifically for sex workers like ourselves. As two experienced guardians of this community, we have seen firsthand the challenges and dangers that come with our line of work. It is with this understanding that we created this club, a sanctuary where you can feel secure and supported. Our mission is simple: to provide a safe, discreet, and empowering environment for all workers. Here, you will find resources to enhance your personal safety, opportunities for professional development, and a network of women who understand and share your experiences. We believe that by coming together, we can create a stronger, more resilient community. In our club, you will have access to a secure working space, ensuring your safety and privacy. We also have a dedicated conference area for awareness sessions, where experts and advocates will provide valuable information on the topic. Additionally, we offer emergency housing for those in immediate need, ensuring that no one is left without a safe place to stay. Our space is more than just a work place; it is a platform for emancipation and empowerment.

Join us, together we can build a future where our community feels safer, more valued and protected.

With solidarity and strength,

Founders of the Hidden Palace
