My poster is a typographic poster and with the message written with wire fences, it touches on the negative effects of
human trafficking on people, even if people do not die at the border, nothing remains of them.
I started off my research by watching ted talks of victims speak about their exploitation. There was a common thread highlighted by many of them; society thinks of human trafficking as a very remote and outlying subject. Images of hands being tied and mouths being shut are associated with the word ‘human trafficking’, whereas in reality, victims are people just like you and me. They are in houses you walk by or in stores you buy your clothes from. Survivors are socially excluded and labelled which forces them to relapse.

This poster use a positive and negative way to show that children have been victimized by traffickers.worldwide,near 30% victimes of human trafficking are children.
The hand of darkness is blocking the mouth of the victim. Human trafficking is an evil act.
Use force, coercion or other means for the purpose of exploitation,Restrictions on personal freedom and human trafficking are serious violations of human rights. Call for the cessation of all human trafficking and the return of freedom to others.
The hand of power (La Mano de Poder in Spanish) is one that has the ability to stop slavery, deception, racial hatred, and all those perversities that imprison human beings. The hand of power is one that can stop human trafficking. The hand of power is you and it is me, if we are determined to stop this abuse.
The bar code used in consumption represents money, which sews the mouth of the trafficked person like thread. Money forces people to be silent, and it also hurts the trafficked person.
Using the Negative Space to express the image of the label, the label is composed of the hands and feet of the victims, and the raised hands implies a cry for help.
In the poster I want to show how someone is forced to smile and become an object that is for sale, without being able to do anything about it
