Every year during the Super Bowl, numerous articles pop up online about human trafficking; I’ve even written about it. Of course, some say it is a myth, and some say it does happen. But, here is a hint, the naysayers are wrong. Trafficking is absolutely happening at the Super Bowl. But, it is also happening across the Nation every day of the week, not just this weekend. Anywhere there is a significant event like the Super Bowl, there is a flood of visitors. This flood of visitors brings those willing to pay for sex. So, it is not just the Super Bowl; it can be any significant event that brings visitors.
Human trafficking is essentially industrialized rape. A trafficker is taking a human being and repeatedly selling them for profit. A trafficker does not look at their victims as human beings; they are a commodity to sell repeatedly. They will sell victims at the Super Bowl just as well as a hotel in your town. Yes, these are victims.
The Federal Trafficking Report provides the definition of a human trafficking victim. Victims of human trafficking are “The people who traffickers coerce and exploit are known as “victims” in the criminal justice system because they have been harmed during the commission of a crime. In other words, “victim” is a legal term of art, but it encompasses many individuals who are no longer being trafficked and now identify as survivors. Of course, a single term can never adequately reflect or encompass the humanity and resilience of each person whose life has been impacted by the often-devastating effects of human trafficking.”
Trafficking victims are out there and are being exploited even more through the internet. I talked to Kara Smith, Director of Commercial Analysis with the counter-trafficking nonprofit DeliverFund. Kara has been entrenched in the fight against human trafficking for over 4 ½ years but didn’t start her fight against bad actors then. Before working at DeliverFund, Kara spent ten years in the intelligence community tracking known and suspected terrorist before taking on this new mission. What Kara told me really hit me when she said, “It takes more clicks to order a pizza online than a girl. Both which will come directly to your door.”
Here is the stark truth, human trafficking is happening. It is happening at the Super Bowl. It is happening in every state and every city. It is likely happening in your town and towns just like yours. It is happening everywhere. It is happening every day and every hour. Yes, that should sting and should cause controversy. But, the more people understand that trafficking is a reality, the more we as a collective can help stop human trafficking. You can make a difference. Start local. What is your community doing to stop human trafficking? Are you educated on the realities of trafficking in the United States? Do you know the signs? Are you supporting law enforcement in their fight to take traffickers off the streets? Are you giving what you can to ensure trafficking victims become survivors? You can be the difference!
By our perverts in government, media and academic institutions.
ESPECIALLY during sb weekend
Precisely, and thank you. For some reason the author never states that. I hear the Super Bowl weekend is especially bad for sex trafficking.
Recently there was a news report on Fox showing on the southern border the cartels in Mexico are now telephoning Border Patrol telling the federal agents at what time and where on the border the cartels will be dropping off a group of people. The border patrol will then pick up the people at the location, process them, and send them on to other destinations inside the United States at the expense of the taxpayer.
In fact, the United States government is playing an active role in working with international criminals to facilitate human trafficking. Where is the outrage?
“I hear the Super Bowl weekend is especially bad for sex trafficking.”
And wife beating. Don’t forget the wife beating.
Gold diggers - often seen wearing wedding rings and sitting in sky boxes on the 50yd line. Long term trafficking.
The Patriots owner proved that.
My church partners with a local organization that helps women escape that life.
Seeing as my state is in the top 5 for this type of activity I felt compelled to help in some way. When my pastor announced there was a need for volunteers to help with a transitional home that they had just purchased so the women would have a safe undisclosed place to live and get their lives back together I signed up.
Undisclosed because the “handlers” commonly know as pimps would love to find where it is so they like to keep it as secret as possible.
Had to pass a separate background check and go through an orientation before they would even disclose to me where the home was located.
The orientation information was not only heartbreaking but unbelievably brutal.
Some of the things these women have gone through is a real gut punch.
Without sharing the graphic details let’s just say it’s not about straight sex between one man and one woman...and I’ll leave it at that.
I would urge anyone who can to get involved in some way to help out with their local initiatives to fight human trafficking.
Sorry I dumped all that on ya my friend but its a subject kinda close to my heart.
Feel free to check this for more info. Have a blessed day.

I can’t imagine the hell these children endure. What a sick world we live in. It’s getting worse than Sodom and Gomorrah.
Yet Chauncey Gardiner would have us believe it is equivalent to marriage.
please explain!
Your church is doing true God’s work, V_Twin. I’ve read some articles how children are sold, stolen and literally “made via a contract” to be enslaved. Their little bodies used, abused, and many killed for the right price. In today’s society, we watch t.v. show/movie about slavery prior to the CW. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t read some article about how slavery is the reason why (fill in the blank about a social ill right now) is the cause. It is a darn shame we don’t fight the true slavery OF TODAY. Thank you for helping these people... :)
I don’t know who that is but I can assure you in my limited experience it is not.
There is a deeper issue.
Why do women leave their villages in South America and travel to the U.S. to engage in prostitution? Because they have decided that being a prostitute in the US offers a better standard of living than being a starving peasant in Guatemala.
So they are liberated from their pimps. Now what? Do we send them back to their village? Do we permanently support them here in welfare? How many illiterate unskilled peasants will we be able to support?
The women the local organization I have volunteered to help provides access to education if needed, helps build a skill set for the women and assists in writing resumes to help each one seek employment in hopes that one day they will then become a productive member of society.
I thought everyone coming in was young adult males of guerilla military quality.
were they kidnapped at the other end?
Do the women have Green Cards? If not, then you are aiding and abetting illegal immigration. And in so doing, subsidizing the pipeline of illegals and encouraging more to come, until you finally run out of resources.
I can assure you that is not the case.
