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.”

That Ricky Martin is such a humanitarian. Just last week we reported on how Mr. livin la vida loca was helping to fight internet predators.This week his foundation signed an agreement with the International Organization for Migration to combat sexual exploitation and the trafficking of children. At the agreement signing in Madrid, Spain, Ricky said:
We are committed to ending child exploitation.Unfortunately, more than half of trafficking victims worldwide are children, forced into pornography, prostitution and labor servitude, among other forms of exploitation.
