Come on, Captain

Description

So this idea has been floating around in my head for a while, and I finally got around to making it.
It is estimated that there are more than 30 million slaves in the world today, more than at any other point in human history. While I'm not able to do much in the fight against human trafficking, I can raise awareness. Until I was 13, I didn't even know human trafficking existed. And there are still people that don't realize that slavery didn't stop in the 1800s. It's still going on, and it's growing stronger every single day. So this is my awareness poster, mainly targeted at those forced into prostitution. The lyrics are from "Lovely Ladies" from Les Misèrables:

"Come on, Captain,
You can wear your shoes.
Don't it make a change to have a girl who can't refuse?"

While the lyrics may be seen as humorous to some, I see it as a harsh reality of what those forced into prostitution are subjected to. They can't refuse, they can't say no. And they have to live that way every single day.
