The world we are living in is no more a safe home for us. People are bought and sold because of money. It’s high time we stepped forward to stop this human trafficking in order to save ourselves, our family, the boy next door, the girl next country and thus the whole world. So I wanted to focus on creating awareness to stop human trafficking.
Those who are trafficked, seem to be treated as playthings, and then become commodities. That is not what he or she wants to be, nor is it voluntary for them.
For women who have been victimized by capital, are they really commodities?In our mind, what is the real commodity?
There are still many children living in the shadow of darkness in different parts of the world. Everyone’s childhood is different, but it should be happy.
In the poster, I represented how a victim is used as a product. The barcode and the tag is a visualization of human trafficking.
The poster has a game of colors, symbols and typography that shows the reality of human trafficking.
The poster itself shows the meaning of being caught by strangers for commercial purposes. In this case symbolized with the devil that has a person inside his mouth, and the teeth looks like a cage.
My poster, Stop Human Trafficking, brings awareness to the unknown dangers children face everyday. It is my hope that this poster will incite those who take care of young children to teach them to be aware of their surroundings and to avoid contact with strangers – even if they are offering something as harmless as a teddy bear.
Victims of sex trafficking often left with feeling inferior to others, feeling of being permanently damaged, fear of rejection, fear of being alone, distrust and fear of strangers.
Sex trafficking victims can quickly become isolated, withdrawn from family and friends, feel unloved and unwanted caused by their feelings of guilt and shame.
