In a few short months, Super Bowl week will arrive in our community. As with so many best-laid plans, there are unintended consequences. The research tells us that there’s an uptick in sex trafficking of underage youth that accompanies large events like this. A panel of experts who are knowledgeable and experienced in working with communities to mitigate the effects of human trafficking will help us understand this reality and what we can do to promote a healthy community that focuses on child well-being. Panelists include Terry Williams of the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota; John Choi, Ramsey County Attorney; and Amanda Koonjbeharry of Hennepin County’s No Wrong Door Initiative. The three are co-chairs of the Minnesota Super Bowl Host Committee Anti Sex Trafficking Planning Committee.
