The Scarlet Cord is an educational tool. Through the installation, people learn that children don’t volunteer to be trafficked; they are forced. It would be wonderful if even ten perpetrators changed their minds and decided not to buy sex after the Super Bowl. It would be even more exciting if 100, or even 1,000, perpetrators decided to go home after the game without purchasing sex with a child. If these people left the Super Bowl, without buying sex, marriages could be healed and individuals could potentially be set free.
As I show my work in Phoenix, many children will be trafficked, or raped, and, as a result, bear deep wounds—perhaps for the rest of their lives.
The Scarlet Cord is a megaphone to broadcast the heinous injustice done to children so people will be informed and no longer ignore the issue.
