The issue of “human trafficking” is flooded all over the world, but it seems to be at a distance from us. We hope that through our posters, the visual supplemented by text and images will let viewers feel the message we want to convey. We divide human trafficking into four directions: sexual exploitation, labor exploitation, child sales, and organ sales, and each uses an image to interpret, and at the same time collocation text, weave a paragraph that visually describes “human trafficking” dialogue. Let more people read the topic of “Human Trafficking” concisely and intuitively, understand its seriousness, and start to care about it, reduce victims, and contribute to human rights.

Image expression: “Human trafficking” cannot escape the incentive of money. With money as the core, it runs through the overall poster, trying to connect and present the subtle relationship between the four directions and money in a witty way.

1. Sexual exploitation: Located at the bottom left of the visual, it is presented with the appearance of a person opening his mouth during oral sex, and is presented with the incentive of money.
2. Organ trading: Located at the upper left of the vision, with the image of a scalpel in hand, matched with the kidney, and money perfectly presents the incentives of this black market transaction.
3. Labor Exploitation: Located at the upper right of the vision, with the concept of squeezing people vigorously with hands, it presents a ruthless, cold-blooded exploitation of labor, squeezing their labor in exchange for money.
4. Children’s business: Located at the bottom right of the visual field, holding a lollipop, tempting children and kidnapping and selling, comparing the value of this transaction with lollipops, such cheap candy can bring great money, ironically. Absurd money making behavior.

Literal expression: The two most fundamental elements of “human trafficking” are brought out through the use of words through illustrations and images, the conflicts between “human rights” and “interests.” Supplemented by “consciousness” means that self-awareness cannot be used to prevent deprivation of body and mind. And bring in key texts in four directions to give viewers a different perspective of understanding.

1. Sexual exploitation: Matching with the picture at the bottom left of the visual, with the Chinese words「性自主」、「奴」、「人體」, it shows that a sexually autonomous person is like a sex slave, and the body is at his disposal.
2. Organ trading: Put the Chinese words 「器」、「植入」、「移出」 in the upper left corner of the vision, which means that one’s own organs can be disassembled and installed like building blocks.
3. Labor Exploitation: Located at the upper right of the vision, the Chinese words 「榨」、「勞工」、「力」 are used to bring out the imbalance caused by the squeezed labor.
4. Children’s business: In the lower right of the visual, use the Chinese words 「兒童」、「操控」、「強迫」 to express children’s business. The distorted text brings out the twists and turns of childhood, and when the mental ability is not fully developed, Control and deprivation.

Present for Kids | China

The trafficking of children accounts for a large proportion of human trafficking. Some of these children are sold to war borders to serve as child soldiers, carrying heavy guns on their small shoulders and risking their lives at any time. The work combines lollipops which represent children’s innocence and gun barrels, and appeals to society to oppose human trafficking through satire.

Combat Human Trafficking | China

The whole work is composed of three colors, black, white and green, which form a sharp contrast visually. The black bar code is a metaphor for human trafficking cages and the truck containers used to transport human , with the words “combat human trafficking” at the bottom naming the theme. The green hand signifies the strength to break free of a cage, and the green color signifies infinite hope.
The whole work is intended to express that people are acting against human trafficking and hope that the day will come when there is no evil of human trafficking.

We are not a commodity | China

Through the image of doll and woven bag, the work expresses and satirizes the evil and shadow of human trafficking. It emphasizes that human beings are not commodities sold. It is necessary to prevent and prevent human trafficking and protect human rights, so as to make more people know and understand the serious problem of human trafficking.

Bottom of the Shaft | China

The shadow of human trafficking is like the darkness at the bottom of a shaft, so that people can see the blue sky beyond their borders but cannot enjoy their freedom. The work transforms “HUMAN TRAFFICKING” into the shape of the bottom of a well, symbolizing the restriction of human trafficking on human freedom.

The eaten apple | China

In poster design, apple element is used to combine it with children’s head silhouette, and explore the visual principle by using the relationship between elements sharing and mutual existence. The work skillfully uses images to form heterosexual isomorphism. In poster design, apple symbolizes that children who deprive of personal freedom and are sold are complete individuals like apples. If they are forced to bite off, their behaviors have been on the road of illegal crimes. The works satirize the “robber” way of those traffickers, leaving the fact that can not be lost.
