Behind human trafficking is money and rights. At the same time, some rights have become bargaining chips for
benefits. These are more or less undermining social equity and equality of rights. This is a problem that the world
should face squarely.
The benefits of human trafficking bind women’s freedom
According to the survey, women and children are more likely to be abducted, and the proportion is also very high. The people in the poster are all covered with their mouths, indicating that they have been abducted and trafficked. They are commodities, no freedom, no speech, no rights, only to be chosen.
This work uses traditional Chinese ink painting techniques to draw scenes of child trafficking, black-handed go after children, children are tagged with price tag, full of fear and fear, help me out.
The work, which uses a woman’s real-life trafficking process, is covered with labels to show the desperate, painful life of a woman after being sold.
In my poster I am portraying all the women (but also men) who are being silenced due to human trafficking. The focus is put on the woman with a neutral background to really portray the victim. You can see she is tired, as the victim she has to obey. But we as a humanity are also tired. I purposely didn’t give het bruises or tears to avoid the clichés. Despite her situation, she is still a strong woman. I don’t mean to shock but to put the focus on her mouth and her silence. Silence can be very powerful.
The hands of evil reach out to women in hidden corners, and women can’t cry out for help, but stare at you in despair, as if to say, do something, don’t let this happen again
The poster shows two children on swings in a birdcage and a bird flying to freedom. This symbolizes human trafficking of children mostly those who are forced to leave their innocent childhood and become adults at a very young age. It shows how children should be allowed to be children and not forced to work or become someone’s wife. These issues should concern us all and we should do our part in helping as much as we can.
With my design, I chose to use a puppet box to symbolise the trafficking of people and how people who are trafficked probably feel. The name Labour Dols is a nod to the acronym DoLs (The Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards)
For this project I worked together in a collaborative project with my fellow classmate Jacob Chea-Giles
