Sex trafficking proliferates when men congregate for so-called "masculine" activities: #footballgames, #carraces, #tradeshows - even political conventions.

To dismiss the relationship between the #SuperBowl and child sex #trafficking as a “myth” obscures uncomfortable truths: this human rights abuse is a daily reality for its victims, and the location and timing of sex trafficking are not random.

Large sporting events like the #SuperBowl lead to an increase in trafficking. Survivors and experts have known this for years -- so why is this fact so often debated?

#FillInTheCracks #ProtectAllChildren #RedSandProject
This #HumanTraffickingPreventionMonth, PACT and Red Sand Project are highlighting the vulnerabilities that make children more susceptible to trafficking and inviting communities to fill in those cracks with empathy, awareness, and protection.
#ProtectChildren #EndTrafficking
A child should not have to navigate instability alone. When cracks form in a child’s support system, traffickers can show up with false promises of security.

#HumanTraffickingPrevention #NationalHumanTraffickingAwarenessMonth
Traffickers look for the cracks in a child’s foundation:
• loneliness or a need for affection
• instability at home
• lack of belonging or safety
This January, let’s fill in the cracks and prevent the sexual exploitation and trafficking of children before it starts.
#ProtectAllChildren
In honor of Human Trafficking Prevention Month, join PACT and Red Sand Project to spread awareness of the vulnerabilities that traffickers look for in potential victims.

This Human Trafficking Prevention Month, join PACT and Red Sand Project to fill in the cracks and prevent the sexual exploitation and trafficking of children before it starts.
#HumanTraffickingPrevention #PreventionStartsWithAwareness #RedSandProject
Prevention means noticing those vulnerabilities early and building strong, reliable support systems so that cracks in the safety net never have the chance to form.
#HumanTraffickingPrevention #PreventionStartsWithAwareness #RedSandProject
Many vulnerabilities are invisible. A child may seem okay from the outside, but on the inside feel neglected and be longing for affection or for someone to take their worries seriously.
Traffickers exploit these unaddressed needs.
What does meaningful action really look like when we talk about preventing child sexual exploitation and trafficking?

The official Grok X account acknowledged that generating sexualized imagery of children “violated ethical standards and potentially U.S. laws on CSAM (child sexual abuse material),” but it did not specify what steps it would be taking to prevent a repeat offense.
