Ricky Martin in Cambodia Against Human Trafficking

More than just some pretty faces, Ricky Martin lent that face and body against human trafficking in a trip to Cambodia last week.
The pop star also held the 3-month-old daughter of a 22-year-old woman who was sold by her father to a brothel and is now HIV-positive. The woman broke down in tears as she urged Martin to keep fighting against human trafficking.“I’m not going to stop,” Martin said, pounding his fist on his knee as he sat on a tiled floor. “All of you are my heroes. You are a gift of my life.”
