It is not a commodity | China

submissions

It is not a commodity as the theme of the poster design is to call people’s attention to the social problem of human trafficking. Families of trafficked persons are often torn apart and plunged into misery as a result. The word it is used to express that victims lose their human rights and are reduced to commodities. The poster mainly depicts the silhouette of a child sobbing with his face covered.
The child’s head are pasted with the barcode symbolizing the commodity and a corner of the barcode forms a tear of the child.The contrast of black and red colors reflects the white tear mark, which expresses the suffering of the trafficked children, triggers the awakening of human sympathy and conscience and so as to eliminate the root of the evil of human trafficking.

People Are Not Commodities, Stop Human Trafficking | China

A phase

Barcode is the label attached to the product. Behind the product is the economic benefit. The inducements of trafficking in human beings are all the suffering of victims driven by interests. Therefore, I combined the shape of human beings with the bar code to reflect on the implication that people should not be blinded by interests and deprive the rights and dignity of victims, but should stop human trafficking. Finally, the date at the bottom of the barcode (2013-9-30) is the World Day against Trafficking in Persons, calling on everyone not to remain silent and the fight against human trafficking starts with me.
