The Vulture is Waiting in the Dark. | Iran

Vultures are best known to wait for their prey to die, and here I suppose the victims are left to die or getting murdered both emotionally and physically. The vulture is representing the Human Smugglers who would wait for a good time to capture their prey. The chains are the symbol of both slavery and how Human Trafficking is a global issue. The colors are used to express the unbearable fear. Since this issue would cause traumatic effects on the people who get involved, the hands are symbols of both victims and their poor families and friends reaching out for help.

Profits | Malaysia

The design concept is inspired by a dollar sign (“$”). According to global statistics, human trafficking is one of the most profitable criminal activities in the world. The poster shows a girl locked to the alphabet of “S”, to create a look of the dollar sign (“$”). Women represent the victims, and “S” stands for sale, slave, and sexual exploitation. Humans are not products, don’t violate human rights to make a profit.

Snake | China

Human traffickers all over the world are selling women, children, men all over the world. They are like greedy snakes in pursuit of financial gains, constantly devouring innocent people, causing unimaginable harm to them and their families.

Stay connected | Japan

Under the sky, all people are equal. The sun, which means hope, is expressed in the reggae symbol colors of yellow, red, and green. Two people facing each other in the opposite direction under the sun. But what they think is the same “peace” This is imagined from the lyrics of the song, “You can see a mans face But you can’t see his heart. Trust no shadows after dark.” I want to convey through this poster that we are connected, never forgetting hope even in the dark.
