Sex trafficking and sports

         Sex trafficking and the Superbowl are almost a perfect storm. It's also a crime of opportunity. Just think about it, tons of guys coming into town. It's not just the Superbowl, it's the Olympics and the world cup. There's millions of ladies trafficked into the city for whatever sporting event is going on. This year the super bowl was in Arizona and you wouldn't think that Arizona has much of a sex trafficking problem but then the super bowl happened. What can we do?
        
       Solution #1: Education. We have to educate ourselves about sex trafficking and what our local law enforcement and law makers are doing to stop or prevent it. Educate yourself so that you can spot the signs of it so maybe you can help.
 
        Solution #2: Cut off the demand. I know that a lot of people reading this wont be a part of this "supply/demand" relationship but I'm just putting the idea out there. Everyone knows that if cut off the demand there goes the supply.
 
         Solution #3: Educate the women in your life. These traffickers are everywhere. Teach them the signs cause traffickers don't wait on street corners anymore, they can be boyfriends or loved ones. They can also prowl for women online. so be smart! We can also teach our loved ones to cherish themselves and to value themselves.

      Solution #4: Pray. Pray for safety for the girls. Also pray for justice.

        Solution #5 Keep law enforcement and law makers accountable. If they know voters care then law makers will make sure to pass laws to six the problem
