[I]A local advocacy group will be using a dramatic display to protest sex trafficking at major Gem, Mineral, and Fossil showcase sites this weekend.

Jerry Peyton, Executive Director of Sold No More, a Tucson-based organization combating the selling of children for sex in Arizona, said big events like the Gem and Mineral show attracted sex traffickers from around the country into Tucson.

Peyton said women were advertised on the internet, as well as by word of mouth at hotels, motels and events surrounding the Gem and Mineral show. To raise awareneness, the group planned to set up a life sized doll box outside major events. Inside the doll box would be a young girl, representing a victim of human trafficking.[/I]
