HUMAN TRAFFICKING | Poland

submissions

According to the International Labor Organization (ILO), forced labor alone (one component of human trafficking) generates an estimated $150 billion in profits annually; according to a 2014 ILO estimate, 21 million victims are trapped in modern slavery. Ethnic minorities and highly marginalized groups of people are estimated to work in some of the most exploitative and harmful sectors, such as leather tanning, mining, and quarrying. The poster depicts a piggy bank without a hole to save money. This cannot be done when a person is a slave.

The world has come a long way, technology makes the lives of everyone so much easier, with a few clicks we can order whatever we want from any part of the world, sadly this includes… people.
My intention with this poster is to create awareness about how technology has been the common medium where human trafficking transactions take place.

Shadow | Jamaica

submissions

The poster design titled “Shadow” was inspired by the song “No Shadow After Dark”. The song speaks on some vital ways of living that evoke the prevention of Human Trafficking that would help the viewer to be safer. I find that this was a useful tool to help in the illustration of what was being said. The poster design showed a person in the body structure of a human smiling with an emoji head holding on to a little girl that is fearful. This was a way of showing the viewer the personality and the approach of strangers that participate in human trafficking. The smiling emoji face was used because it is something that is relatable in today’s digital world of texting. Persons are more familiar with it and would see the big picture of why it was used. The body of the person is formed within the negative space of the darkness and is linked to the hands that are touching the female shoulder. A situation where you see the contrast of happiness and fear all at once between two people in one place brings about lies, cynicism, and skepticism. These words in action are what is embodied in the poster design in terms of feeling. Teaching potential victim not to trust a stranger that is nice to you.

Screaming | China

submissions

Human trafficking is both scary and damaging, which provoke two emotions: fear and anger. The illustration I created depicts a lion screaming. Screaming is a way to express fear and anger. And a lion is a powerful symbol. Even though the lion in the poster looks desperate, it is also powerful. It is a lion! I hope people around the world can stand out and resist human trafficking. If people scream and resist human trafficking, people are getting powerful.

“they are peoople not sexual toys” | Portugal

submissions

The “they are peoople not sexual toys” poster was designed with the intention to compare the simple act of buying/selling a sex toy to the human trafficking. Side by side human and sex toys how easy and banal something that is completely wrong can be to those who do it.
the human figure trapped in a box completely in the hands of those who buy it .I chose a simple typography so that the image “spoke” louder than the words.
side by side humans and sex toys as something so wrong becomes so banal in the hands of those who practice human trafficking.
