#endsextrafficking

Another element that was shocking was the fact that sex trafficking can happen in plain sight. Men were able to open and advertise businesses that are essentially modern day brothels. Young girls get caught in the cycle of it too many times to count. There’s not much that’s done about the brothels because it’s technically legal.

“Targets Variegated” by @artyouhungry🚦 “The “Targets Variegated” handembroidery series is complete! 🚦This is my final series @uoftampa @utampaartdept as I have officially graduated.” “This hand embroidered series highlights women and girls of different ages. 
This series gives power back to these victims, emphasizing the importance of women and girls having control over their bodies.” “The side profile and focal point of the eye for each target, reassures the viewer that each figure is demanding respect.” “This contrasts with my previous series where the target symbolism is stamped on/ around the front facing images of young girls.” “With a traffic light being such one of the most important sources of control and authority, I thought I would use this as inspiration for the color symbolism in this series. The red border on each circular canvases puts these victims at the same level of significance regardless of their age and is a call of action to STOP sexual abuse and sex trafficking of women and girls.” #SupportBlackArt #artyouhungry
