We Are PACT

06/22/2026

Big sporting events bring fans together, but they also increase risks for vulnerable children.

Exploitation and trafficking are preventable – and awareness is one of the strongest tools we have.

As the games continue, let’s stay alert and identify the risks early.

We may wear different jerseys, but we’re all on the same team of child protection.

A panel discussion featuring advocates and survivor leaders will take place after the screening, creating space to hear directly from those with lived experience and to explore the importance of survivor-centered responses alongside meaningful systemic change.

Duration: ~90 minutes

As the U.S. prepares to host the FIFA World Cup, millions of fans, tourists, workers, and local residents will come together across multiple cities to cheer on their favorite teams. Not everything will be worthy of celebration: Large-scale sporting events like the FIFA World Cup are well documented as periods of increased risk for the s*xual exploitation and trafficking of children and adolescents.

If you believe in protecting all children from trafficking and s*xual exploitation — boys, too — then we’re on the same team.

In the lead-up to this global event, PACT has been working with partners nationwide and abroad to strengthen protections, raise awareness, and empower professionals and superfans alike to recognize the signs of trafficking during these large sporting events. https://www.wearepact.org/protecting-children-sporting-events

Boys are often invisible victims of s*xual exploitation. Shame, fear, and stereotypes keep many from reporting, being seen or believed. PACT was one of the first anti-trafficking organizations to strongly advocate for increased research and services for boy victims of s*xual violence. Check out a few of our reports on how trafficking affects boys here: https://www.wearepact.org/reports

In honor of National Crime Victims Rights’ week, we invite you to join PACT for a virtual screening of The Right Track, a powerful documentary that spotlights the fight to end s*x trafficking and human exploitation across North America, through the eyes of those who lived it.

Too often, victims and survivors of trafficking are wrongly blamed or prosecuted for crimes orchestrated by traffickers, pimps, and those who fuel demand: s*x buyers.

At the heart of this film is the Survivor Model, also known as the Equality Model, an approach that targets perpetrators while prioritizing the protection, dignity, and justice for survivors.

When survivors come together, oppression crumbles.

Choose the screening that works for you:
Wednesday, April 22nd at 6pm EST
Thursday, April 23rd at 8:30pm EST

Get your ticket now on https://www.wearepact.org/the-right-track-documentary

All proceeds from ticket sales will support PACT’s Survivors’ Council and their work to advance anti-trafficking legislation and prevention efforts.

Warning: This film contains violent content and stories of intense s*xual trauma. If you suspect you are a victim of s*x trafficking, call the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888 or text “help” to 233722.
