Human trafficking is a much bigger issue in the United States than many would care to acknowledge because it’s not something that anybody actually wants to think about. Today, many are expecting it to be a bad day for that sort of activity. Not only is Atlanta among the most dangerous areas of the country in terms of trafficking, it is often claimed that the Super Bowl tends to produce a rise in such activity.
And the Super Bowl just so happens to be in Atlanta.
While many of the most prominent parties within the anti-trafficking community consider the notion of a rise in trafficking during the Super Bowl to be largely apocryphal and that there isn’t a significant amount of evidence to support the claims, that doesn’t mean that they don’t embrace it as an opportunity to raise awareness.
