Hola, mi nombre es Torrence Sturdivant y estoy en el grado 11 en la escuela Charles R. Drew Charter. En nuestro espacio PBL, estamos trabajando en generar conciencia sobre la trata de personas en América Latina. Este es un tema del cual muchas personas no hablan, pero que tiene un impacto muy grave en lugares como la República Dominicana, Colombia y otras ciudades de América Latina. Especialmente, la trata de mujeres para explotación sexual y trabajo forzado es un problema creciente que necesita más visibilidad y acción.

Hi, my name is Torrence Sturdivant, and I am in 11th grade at Charles R. Drew Charter School. In our PBL space, we are focusing on raising awareness about human trafficking in Latin America. Our article highlights the severe issue of human trafficking in various Latin American cities, particularly involving women who are trafficked for sexual exploitation and forced labor. This is an important topic because many people overlook the prevalence of human trafficking in Latin America, and it urgently needs more attention and action.

This powerful digital illustration conveys a strong message against human trafficking. The image features a bold red prohibition symbol overlaying a silhouette of trafficked individuals, marked with price tags to highlight the commodification of human lives. The winding road, filled with fast-moving red trucks, symbolizes the transportation of victims, linking human trafficking to economic and social exploitation. At the bottom, the word "Pobreza" (Poverty) emphasizes the root causes that fuel this global crisis. The striking red and black color scheme enhances the urgency of the message, while the Spanish text at the top translates to "Human trafficking must stop, look at what it is doing."
