Super Bowl Sorrows

I get email updates from True Woman, which is a blog associated with Nancy Leigh DeMoss's ministry, Revive Our Hearts. I haven't been reading the blog posts for a while, but the last two titles grabbed my attention: "The Shocking Side of the Super Bowl" (which was actually written by Focus on the Family's Dr. Juli Slattery), and "Trafficking in the Shadow of the Super Bowl". Because the Super Bowl is American, we Canadians hardly know when our American neighbours are watching/celebrating it. But this year is different, and I think for once, it will be on my mind all weekend. 

Like the titles probably told you, the blog posts revealed the terrible sex-trafficking which will accompany the Super Bowl in Texas. I won't go into much detail, because you can read the articles yourself, but needless to say, it has shaken me. I wonder how much of this goes on in Vancouver. I heard stuff about it during the Olympics, and I've been wondering about it ever since. What can people do to stop this? And besides prayer, how can a young lady get involved in stopping something which can be so potentially dangerous???
