ON TRAFFICKING

 
Trafficking in 60 seconds

 

Women and girls are tempted by the false promises of a better life. They are lured by job ads, an aunt abroad, or, in desperation, set off on their own to find a new and better life. The film below uses the typical wordings from these “tempting ads” - in approximately 60 second you will see what is hidden behind the grand words, trafficking.

Many women face serious economic trouble in their homeland. They might have to take care of their children, vulnerable siblings or fragile parents. At the same time many struggle with loneliness, substance abuse, a troubled childhood, incest and serious mental illness.

 

the people of trafficking

Below you meet the people working within the trafficking industry. The very strong monologues are based on real life experiencies of the many victims of trafficking.    The movies are produced by Jacob Salling from UITCH ISCRATCH Denmark.

the voiceless women

 

To dramatise the problem we show true male internet based reviews of actual sex workers, told through the voices of women and girls. By infiltrating online forums where men openly write and discuss their experiences with prostitutes, we get a glimpse of the uncensored violence and way of thinking that dominates these environments and the conditions that the sex workers have to endure.

 
Girls going wild in red light district

 

So you think you will dance? Sometimes things are not what they seem. Men, women and children are trafficked - tricked, forced and exploited in the sex industry. This film was an awareness campaign created by Duval Guillaume Modem and produced by monodot in support of STOP THE TRAFFIK. Music: a-shja by Raveyards vs. DJ Uinkxxx

 

 
"FRESH MEAT - take away"
