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.
It emphasizes that the first step of human trafficking is to seduce and cheat with sweet things.
The poster is a metaphor about the way that human trafficking is treating people like inanimate objects that you can buy.
The baby playing the piano, he needs our help.（I’m sorry for the wrong poster submitted, and now resubmit.）
This poster represents the forced treatment that many people experience in human trafficking. This inhumane tool represents what human trafficking can lead victims to feel. Chained, trapped, and held captive away from their family and friends. I believe human trafficking needs to end by letting all the victims go.
People often use candy to lure children. Crutches and lollipops are like bait.
We never know how many dark corners there are in the world. These dark traffickers drag pure and lovely children into the darkness, causing endless harm to the children.
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.
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.
