End Human Trafficking: NFL Draft and Human Trafficking Connection
For years, the connection between human trafficking and the Super Bowl has been well documented. The NFL Draft has also become a significant opportunity for traffickers to exploit vulnerable individuals.

In response, law enforcement, victim advocacy organizations, and even travel planners are actively preparing to prevent and combat this crime.
