child labour is not working

The concept of my poster is to provide education for children.

Is important to show that children should not be involved in hard works, they must go to school where they belong to. The school is the place where they should grow up in order to participate in their own development as well as in the development of their countries, contributing with their knowledge achieved at school and later in the universities.

The dark mine represents the horrible thing that child labour is, forwarding to a proper route of knowledge represented in the books. This way, in an ascendant method, is in my full consideration the proper development for children with no stagnation.

ILLUSION

 

The concept behind my poster is very simple. I took one of the 10 reasons cited in “10 Reasons to Oppose HIV Criminalization” and adapted it to my idea – that people are trying to illude themselves with these laws. HIV, as a virus, will not be kept behind bars. And opposing to the criminalization of HIV transmission or exposure, we should focus on helping preventing its spread. So, i tried to play with these concepts: bars, illusion, and helping, as the red bow means prevention/help. I think that even when subjects are serious and important as this one, they should be approached with lightness. I don’t think communication is here to impose, but to show other points of view and make people think.

“Laws criminalizing HIV exposure and transmission ignore the real challenges of HIV prevention.”

It was based in this question that I designed my poster to good 50×70, trying to express that is better to governments to invest in prevention programs based in human rights than criminalizing and punishing HIV positive people. I constructed a bird cage as a metaphor for a human prison, which pretends to show how wrong this HIV laws are, appealing for the awareness of my poster’s viewers.

Child Labour

In my poster i gave a special attention at the construction of the education.
I think that every person, in this case every children, must have access to a good education, in a way that he or she can build the future…
I add some blocks to the picture, because I want to focus the labour on it. Does this blocks contain EDUCATION?..NO
Nowadays it still exist a lot of kids without education and without resources to have it and I think that we can help those kids.
Fortunely we live in a “part of world” that we don’t see this kind of posters or real live every day…but we know that exists…and in plenty 21º century this is unacceptable.
The child in this poster represent one of the many kids around the world in this situation, without education, and living only for benefit of others who use this kids only for one thing.. WORK!

African women are the pillars of the community and they have to be treated with respect and allowed to speak with their own voice.
Make someone stronger and more confident in controlling their life and claiming their rights is the main objective of my poster (“Empowering Women”).
By using some African symbols (hope, independence, bravery and valor), the woman figure and some African fabrics, I created my own pattern as the so-called ‘capulanas’, a colourful object witch represents the richness of the African continent.

Child Labour

This is the daily alphabet of many children in the world. Work tools! Instead of playing and learning, children are forced to do hard work: Adult’s work.
They shall learn and play; they shall be children and not to be forced to work and give up education!
Here we see the alphabet letters children should learn at primary school, but unhappily, in many countries; this alphabet gets transformed into work tools. We can see the transformation between letters and work tools until we are only able to see the tools; the education is substituted by work.
Work is the language those children are used to, and they are too small for that language; they are too small for work, they are too small for work tools.
Child work is not really working…

Healthcare Deprivation poster

The idea for this poster came from the “Manifesto for a Human Rights Based Medicine” and Emergency.
The necessity of medical care based on this three premises exposed by the acronym EQS and the manifestation of the requirement of equality, quality and social responsibility in medical care for everyone. I tried to appeal to authorities just demonstrating a simple example of medical instruments and objects for basic medical care and with typographic forms illustrate the “EQS” formed by these objects and parts of letters. This way one have the claim for medical authorities to provide equally, quality medical care, to everyone and with social responsibility.

Women’s Right’s Violation

In this project I wanted to work in something that I believe: the importance of women in all societies. They are who take care of our children (the future of all communities), who manage the lives of an entire family, who are always there when you need.
Due to the fact that this poster refers specifically to African women, I suggest cultural element through “capulanas” – tissues full of colour and life – to transform them in the constructive elements of the image.
I hope that all the influential people in the communities understand how women are necessary and powerful in building a better society.

Women in Africa must be treated with respect and they should have the same rights as men. I’ve made an African woman made with words to express the importance they should have, how they deserve to have their own voice and be heard. African women should be seen – as they are – the pillar of their communities and they should have the right to decide upon their own lives.

Child Labour is a reality that needs to change, in fact, it needs to stop!
It is quite disturbing to think about the actual number of children that are engaged in child labour, which is approximately one in six children of the world.
Having this numbers, the whole image of this social problem becomes bigger because we can easily become conscious that there are in fact a lot of children caught in this, probably more than what we could have thought.
The aim of the poster is to make people aware of this reality, knowing that child labour is not right. Every child has the right to an ordinary childhood, with proper education.
