TAMPA, Fl. â Dozens of organizations are working to raise awareness about human trafficking ahead of the Super Bowl.
One of them includes the organization, Created, which is expanding its outreach efforts for the game.
âEverything in our program surrounds helping empower women to transition out of whatever situation it is they find themselves in,â said executive director Jillian Penhale.
The group works to help women coming out of human trafficking and exploitation. Typically, Penhale said they serve nearly 90 women a week through housing and outreach, and that around 16 women a day visit for resources at their drop in center.
