Christian Group Launches Social Media Campaign Against Sex Trade During Super Bowl



The Super Bowl is the largest and the most watched program on U.S.tv every year.
The Super Bowl and other large sporting events like the Olympics and the world cup are progressively being recognized as a huge platform for promoting against sex trafficking and Child prostitution.
A Christian advocacy group against the commercial sex trade and human trafficking has launched a social media campaign to coincide with the millions of people who will be interacting online during this Sunday's Super Bowl in New Orleans.


Shared Hope International says there were 12.2 million Super Bowl related posts on social networking websites during and after the game. "As a matter of fact, the halftime show alone garnered 862,000 comments," officials stated.
The organization said that these types of large numbers related to the game means there is "a chance for us together to get in the game and create awareness for the fight against human trafficking, through online advocacy."

"We're guys who take a pledge and take action. We educate, equip, and empower other men to fight against the sex industry and protect their families," the group states on its website. 

Organizers of the awareness campaign to take place during the Super Bowl  encourage participants to share their messages on Twitter and Facebook
