The poster shows a man’s hands tied with tape in a pose that expresses the vulnerability of human rights in bondage and the loss of freedom without the ability to fight back. And it uses a dynamic feeling to express the human being’s desire to break free from being at the mercy of others.
The brush figure is isomorphic with the female body, implying that sexual exploitation
is the main form of human trafficking. It expresses the problem of modem slavery and
reminds people to protect and save the victims of human trafficking.
In many parts of the world, people are oppressed, struggling and helpless. We should persist in protecting human rights and turn the dark shadow into a place where the sun can shine.
In this design I want to tell about the difference between seeing something and what actual happens. In this case, we see a man whit a child but what you see is just a men with a kid. In reality the men has trafficked this girl into a suitcase to a country and use her for human trafficking.
Unfortunately, there is a dirty trade in the world called human trafficking, women and girls are the biggest victims. We are all responsible for this and everyone should try to stop this trade in its place.
Nowadays more and more children are easy to imprison, since they can not help being obsessed by all kinds of temptations outwards, such as delicious food, drinks, or sweet homes from strangers.
It should become a common sense that parents are responsible for teaching their kids to precaution these temptations outwards.
The poster design titled “Tek Weh” was inspired by school girls that have been victims of human trafficking over the years. I have experienced the trauma of my friends losing their sister to human trafficking. In the poster design, I have used that story as a way of illustrating the feel and the reality of the event. The poster design depicts a sad little girl in her blue school uniform, with her bag pack in the middle of a black cage being carried by a hand holding a black rope. The black rope and the cage symbolized the dark and illegal activities being done. The dark gray background represents the feeling of the event taking place that overall surrounds fear and the trauma. I used a dark skin little girl with afro-textured hair to touch on the genuineness and innocence of the victim. The text “Another one ah get Tek Weh” is to direct the viewer to the action of what is happening. In relation to the song lyrics, of “Shadow after Dark” there is a part in it that said, “Another life ah get stolen,” in which I reformed to and say “Another One a Get Tek Weh” to emphasize the Jamaican patois so that it could be more relatable to Jamaican viewers.

The fact that incredible behavior continues to occur around the world, “putting a price sticker on a child’s hand, which we usually see, puts the price on the child and sells it.” Expressed the message that is close to us. A poster that makes the world view of the positive impression that parents and children hold hands, and the extraordinary sense of incongruity of the price sticker creates an impressive contrast between light and darkness, and makes people aware of the existence of children who are sold like things. I hope it will be a work that asks the hearts of many people about human trafficking, which is an inhumane act.
