The International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the United States Agency for International Development’s (USAID) IOM X Campaign in Bangkok have launched a campaign which aims to break down the myths associated with trafficking for sexual exploitation.
Created by Sydney-based agency Rasic and Partners and directed by Shelly Lauman from EXIT Films in Sydney, the highly-emotional two-and-a-half minute film called “Unexpected Victim” takes viewers into the everyday lives of victims.
The accompanying music track ‘Sleep’ was written and performed by Virginia-based music artist, Anousheh.
“This film is the result of working together with IOMX incredibly smart people at IOM X and the wonderful Shelly Lauman at EXIT Films and her team,” said Dejan Rasic, ECD at Rasic And Partners.
“Trafficking for sexual exploitation is highly complex and often misunderstood,” Says Tara Dermott, program leader, IOM X. “We have worked closely IOMX with Rasic and Partners and EXIT Films to unpack these complexities and use film to draw attention to the reality. Our hope is that through increased understanding of trafficking for sexual exploitation, we are better equipped to prevent it.”
