              Dark blue and black images with the text "together, we can tackle human trafficking" on the left side and a football player in full pads and gear on the right sideLarge events like the Super Bowl are great opportunities to raise awareness of human trafficking. Human trafficking comes in many forms including sex trafficking, forced labor, and domestic servitude resulting from fraud, coercion, or threats of violence.

Whether you live or work in the host city, are attending the game, or even watching at home, you can play a role in stopping this crime.

Victims of human trafficking are often hidden in plain sight. Learn the signs and how to report suspected trafficking.
	Forced or coerced commercial sex work is still human trafficking even if prostitution is legal in the city or state where it occurs.
	Forced labor can currently happen anywhere, including the hotel, lodging, and entertainment industries. People who work in these areas may be able to spot what others don’t.
	Transportation workers like rideshare and taxi drivers are also uniquely positioned to see something that others don’t.**Explore the resources below to learn more about the signs and what you can do to help stop human trafficking.** Because when it comes to stopping human trafficking, we’re all on the same team.
