This is, for me, the most iconic of the anti-trafficking ads because it was one of the first I encountered, and it’s still the most ludicrous. It seems like satire, doesn’t it? Flawless, shapely, stark white legs in nice heels, with an accessory that has all the malevolence of a belly chain. You probably don’t even believe that it’s a real ad. But it is. It’s by Amnesty International.
The website URL is barely visible. The “legcuffs” are, apparently, made of gold filigree. The crap fake-fur-covered handcuffs that are standard issue at every sex shop would do a better job of restraining someone. And in case you’re unfamiliar with those, let me assure you, they are utter crap. The coup de grace—her toenails are painted. Because say what you will about traffickers, but those pieces of slime have an eye for detail.
