Humans for sale

To highlight the harsh realities of human trafficking, the South-African ~~Red Cross~~ Salvation Army came with this hard-hitting idea that put children on sale in fashion boutique windows. The message emphasises the tragedy of putting a price-tag on a human life.

Would really like to use this image for my research paper for school on human trafficking if that would be OK with you that would be great.

I see others have asked about using the images for school projects, I am also interested in using this image for a class project. Is this OK?

@Brian and others: We’re not the copyright owners but using these images for an intern project won’t be a problem. We think it is good to spread the word!
