Artist, musician and singer was chosen to be the The Now Icon: Ricky Martin for L’Officiel Hommes Italia March 2020

With 90 million of albums sold, 500 nominations, his hit “Livin’ La Vida Loca” and “Maria” give to him the title as king of Latin Pop. And his daily fight against the target of trafficking.

The sultry pop star was representing his Ricky Martin Foundation in support of the fight against human trafficking when he visited a shelter in Siem Reap in order to spend time with children affected by sexual assaults.

The shelter houses 65 victims of human trafficking, and Martin spent time comforting, among others.

After his visit, Martin was obviously touched by the stories from these young survivors.

“I’m not going to stop.” He told the children, “All of you are my heroes. You are a gift of my life.”

“The fact that you have 200 non-governmental groups working in the country working on human trafficking is unheard of,”

Ricky Martin
