Ricky Martin visits Cambodia to fight child trafficking
Posted on March 30th, 2008 by Hot Momma
Ricky Martin has been a dedicated fighter in his cause to bring attention to child trafficking through his own Ricky Martin Foundation. On Saturday he went to Siem Reap, Cambodia, where he met with young victims of human trafficking that were used for sexual exploitation. The stories of these victims are truly heartbreaking, and highlight how incredibly important this cause really is. Martin also met with Interior Minister Sar Kheng and visited various projects run by non-governmental organizations fighting child trafficking and sexual exploitation.
Ricky Martin first learned about the horrors of child human trafficking in Cambodia when he attended a U.N. conference about it in February. Cambodia is perhaps the worst haven for child human trafficking in the world. But Martin said that Cambodia is a model for change, as they already have over 200 organizations devoted to eliminating the country of this horrible crime. Martin said he plans to take the information he learned in Cambodia home and use it to “motivate people, organizations, governments in Latin America.”
