Child Slavery PSAs Contrast the Joy of Youth and the Tragedy of Stolen Innocence

To highlight the global tragedy of children being sold into prostitution and hard labor, agency kbs+ has released three new spots for World Vision Canada's No Child For Sale initiative. Each spot starts with a beautiful childhood scene and ends with the stark reality of life for a child slave. The videos are beautiful, moving, and completely heart-wrenching. The "Bedtime" spot depicts lovely scenes of children falling asleep and being tucked in bed, and ends with a painful shot of a young child lying on a bed under the gaze of a pedophile customer. The juxtaposition of the two very different childhood experiences is brutally effective. These spots—as well as the additional creative assets on the website—provide the viewer with some eye-opening awareness, and hopefully encourage all of us to take action to help end human trafficking and child slavery worldwide.
