 MTV Europe Foundation

The MTV EXIT (End Exploitation and Trafficking) campaign is a multimedia initiative produced by MTV EXIT Foundation (formerly known as the MTV Europe Foundation) to raise awareness and increase prevention of human trafficking and modern slavery. The MTV EXIT Foundation is a registered UK charity [2] launched by MTV Networks Europe in 2003 to use the power and influence of MTV's brand and broadcasting network to educate young people about the social issues affecting their lives.

The main elements of MTV EXIT's campaign include:

  1. On Air; the production and broadcast of both dedicated and peripheral campaign exposure.
  2. On the Ground; awareness-raising events including large-scale concerts, youth sessions, roadshow events and community screenings.
  3. Online; production and maintenance of a multi-language, youth-oriented awareness and prevention website.

In June 2004, MTV EXIT Foundation and Sida (Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency) joined in an alliance to combat trafficking in women for sexual exploitation in Europe. The campaign was branded as MTV EXIT, and launched in July 2004 at the EXIT Festival in Novi Sad, Serbia & Montenegro.

In 2007, MTV EXIT expanded across MTV's channels in Asia and the Pacific in partnership with USAID, AusAID, Walk Free, and ASEAN. The campaign features similar elements to the European initiative. MTV EXIT in Asia and the Pacific is focusing on three major forms of trafficking in Asia and the Pacific: sex trafficking and forced prostitution, labour trafficking, and forced domestic servitude. Also, due to the complexities of trafficking and the differences found geographically, the campaign is split into two regions: Asia-Pacific and South Asia.

Taking into consideration all outputs of MTV EXIT including their partnerships with over 50 anti-trafficking NGOs across Europe and Asia, the alliance has directly reached an estimated 7.5 million people through television, events, and the Internet, and countless more through additional media coverage generated.

On Air

The MTV EXIT Campaign has been producing an array of programming since 2004 in multiple formats including music videos, documentaries, short fictional films, live event programmes, and public service announcements. Some of these shows have been listed below:

Music Videos

Simple Plan: This Song Saved My Life

Following the success of MTV EXIT's Live in Hanoi 2012 concert event featuring Canadian rock band Simple Plan, MTV EXIT decided to embark on another exclusive collaboration with the band to produce a brand new music video titled This Song Saved My Life. The video was produced in Australia under the direction of award-winning creative agency Colman & Rasic and Sydney-based film maker Ash Bolland.[3]

The lyrics of the song This Song Saved My Life are composed by Simple Plan's global fan base detailing the important role that music plays in youth culture.[4] The narrative for the video dramatically features exploited child labour for the purposes of textile and garment industries in Asia, and provides a powerful commentary on the role that consumers can play in making a difference to end modern day slavery through awareness and action.

Radiohead: All I Need

MTV EXIT and the English rock band Radiohead partnered to produce an exclusive music video for Radiohead's song "All I Need", off their seventh studio album In Rainbows (2007).[5] The music video itself is shown in a split screen, with one side depicting a day in the life of a young child from an affluent, developed area and the other showing the day in the life of a child being forced to work in a sweatshop. The music video premiered on all MTV properties globally on 1 May 2008.

The video was filmed in Australia by Oscar-winning Cinematographer, John Seale (The English Patient, Cold Mountain) and award-winning video director Steve Rogers.[6] It provides insight into the realities of trafficking and emphasizes that everyone plays a role in the issue, and provides a link to information about how to help end exploitation and trafficking.

The Killers: Goodnight, Travel Well

In an exclusive collaboration, MTV EXIT and alternative rock band The Killers have partnered with UNICEF and USAID to produce a music video that highlights the dangers and impact of trafficking for sexual exploitation, particularly for young women.[7]

The music video, for the band’s track Goodnight, Travel Well from the album Day & Age premiered globally across all of MTV’s properties on-air and on-line on Monday July 13, 2009. This video represents the second in a series of music video collaborations to highlight the dangers and impact of human trafficking.

Awards received:

The Grips: Tonight is Your Night

Tonight is Your Night is the third MTV EXIT music video by The Grips, a popular rock band from Pristina, Kosovo and released on MTV Adria for the South East Europe region on June 23, 2010. The video for "Tonight Is Your Night" tells the story of a young woman who escapes from a trafficking situation and finds peace and comfort.

Muse: MK Ultra

Muse joined the MTV EXIT Campaign with their unique music video to raise awareness of human trafficking produced in partnership with USAID. MK ULTRA video is the third installment in the MTV EXIT “some things cost more than you realise” trilogy following previous collaborations with Radiohead and The Killers. Directed by Colman Rasic, released globally on all MTV platforms on 17 September 2010, the video depicts the intersecting lives of 3 people who knowingly or unwittingly are driving the demand for cheap goods or services, resulting in the sexual and/or labour exploitation of young men and women.

Black Iris featuring Best Coast: When Will I Feel Love

In an exclusive collaboration, MTV EXIT and music collective Black Iris featuring Best Coast’s lead Bethany Cosentino partnered with leading global advertising agency, Y&R, to produce an animated music video which raises awareness of human trafficking. "When Will I Feel Love" highlights the danger and impact of trafficking for sexual exploitation, particularly of young women. The music video premiered across MTV properties on-air and online around the world on February 14, 2011.

The Click Five: Don’t Let Me Go

U.S. pop band, The Click Five has once again teamed up with MTV EXIT to publicly take a stand against the selling of humans for sex or manual labour. In an exclusive music video collaboration for the track, "Don't Let Me Go,” the band has taken a literal approach to how blind we are to the active trafficking trade going on around us. The music video premiered on MTV channels internationally on 15 April 2011.

Alex Kavvadias: False Hope

Greek recording artists Alex Kavvadias joined forces with MTV EXIT for this music video to raise awareness of human trafficking and exploitation. The video was produced in Australia under the direction of award-winning creative agency 18 Feet & Rising and Sydney-based filmmaker Ash Bolland, long time collaborators of the MTV EXIT campaign. Through its stylised imagery the video, set in “anywhere” Asia, tells the story of a mother saying goodbye to her young daughter, who leaves home for a promised job and new life abroad. This hope for a better future soon fades, and the girl finds herself trapped in a world of sex slavery. The minimalistic set depicts the mother and daughter separated by a single wall, dividing their two starkly different worlds, highlighting not only the fact that it is not just the victim who suffers from this kind of exploitation but that ‘sometime hope takes you places you never dreamed’.

Live With A Smile (Sống với những nụ cười)

MTV EXIT's Vietnamese music video featured 16 Vietnamese pop artists, all donating their time to raising awareness and inspiring change in the human trafficking situation. 'Sống với những nụ cười' (Translation: 'Live With A Smile') is a song about standing together to protect your family, friends and fellow citizens from falling into the trap of human trafficking. In Vietnam, many are willing to leave the issue of human trafficking in the dark. This shines a light on the problem, with direct messaging and statistics on sexual, domestic and hard labour exploitation.

d'Masiv: Still Can (Masih Bisa)

MTV EXIT's Indonesian music video features the band D'Masiv, who donated their time to raising awareness and inspiring change in the human trafficking situation. The music video tells the story of safe migration versus unsafe migration, and in stark contrast, shows the very real consequences of not taking caution to protect oneself from traffickers who pry on the hopes and dreams of those wanting a better life.

Hugo: Exit (The Fault of Being Sincere)

MTV EXIT's Thailand music video features folk artist, Hugo, who donated his time to raising awareness and inspiring change in the human trafficking situation. The lyric and video shows the loving protection a grandfather wants to provide to his grandson. In a flashback scene, it is revealed to the viewer that the grandfather was a victim of human trafficking when at the same age as his grandson – providing a gritty account of his kidnapping and exploitation as a child labourer in the sewing industry. It ends with a story of hope, showing that we can fight the issue of human trafficking if we protect our loved ones.

Pou Khlaing and Khat Sokhim: Three Don'ts

MTV EXIT's Cambodian music video features hip hop artist Pou Khlaing in collaboration with pop sensation Khat Sokhim, who donated their time to inspires people to 'get up' and join the fight against human trafficking. The lyrics and video are designed to motivate the people of Cambodia to join MTV EXIT in the fight against human trafficking, and shows Pou and Khat creating a movement in the villages of Cambodia to bring an end to the exploitation of Cambodian people. The music video features direct messaging on the "3 don'ts" when moving away for a career opportunity: (1) Don't rush, (2) Don't trust everyone, and (3) Don't give away your possessions.

R Zarni: Traps of Life

Traps of Life is the first music video MTV EXIT has produced for Myanmar. The song is performed by R-Zarni; MTV EXIT's celebrity ambassador and an original member of Myanmar's most popular rock band, Iron Cross. The lyrics were written by Myint Moe Aung, a well known musician and TV personality. The audio mastering was completed by Chit San Maung, Iron Cross's lead guitarist. The animation elements of the video are based on illustrations by Nay Myo Say, a celebrated Myanmar visual artist. The video depicts a Burmese man’s reintegration into his village after being trafficked into forced labour on a fishing vessel.
