Kiki's Heart Of Gold

Filed under: Inspiration > Ricky Martin

wenn5127515.jpg

Shakira isn't the only Latin bomshell that's helping out the children.

Enriquetta Martin is lending a hand as well!

Ricky's particular focus has been fighting human trafficking, and Washington, D.C. residents are getting a special treat. Ricky's going to be opening an office in Washington, so you might see him there often.

At the Inter-American Development Bank, Martin introduced a toll-free hotline for victims to call for help.

Martin said, "Once you have all this information, if you do nothing, it's like allowing it to happen."

There are about 2 million people each year who are coerced into sex slavery or forced labor worldwide. There's about 20,000 or so cases in the U.S.

Ricky adds that through his foundation, The Ricky Martin Foundation, they have saved many lives.

    He is my hero today!!

    He is putting everyone on notice about this epidemic and serious threat to personal freedoms.

    Pray for all of the men and women who have to be subjected to human trafficking.

    It is a pseudenym for "adult forced prostitution"

    For a movie that lays out the issue, see: "Human Trafficking" with Mira Sorvino in it.

    Ricky and Shakira are not American latinos. They have a foreign charm and they definitely aren't lazy and dumb like a few of the Latinos you see stealing jobs illegally and give the rest of the community a bad name. These Latin celebs are actually putting their talents and money to some noble causes and that's far better than the skanky white celebs you see with their vaginas hanging out. All you idiots who make idiotic comments like "He's a spic, should I care" only prove you're some dumb, minimum wage white joker who's going to be bitter his/her whole life that didn't amount to much. Same goes for this fame whore Cuban refugee who thinks he's really that important. Just coz you like getting buttfucked, doesn't mean you can actually label a real artist "Enriquetta". I bet he would kick your ass if you tried saying it to his face.

    I AM SO HAPPY FOR WHAT MY HUSBAND HAS ACCOMPLISHED!!!

    this is for a good cause. i'm glad he's stepping up for this, the stories i've heard are so awful. i can't imagine going through that. hopefully he can help out lots of people, as well as recruit more help due to his celebrity status. (p.s. - this is one person perez accuses of being gay that i agree with!)

    Uhh, kiki is what Kirsten Dunst's close friends and family call her. You may not want to tag Shakira with that or anyone else.

    Martin is passionately and genuinely devoted to stomping out human trafficking, and has been for years. Human trafficking should anger everyone. It could be you, or yours.

    It's not just the women who are harmed by human trafficking, their children suffer as well. I attended a seminar on this topic at a nursing conference and saw photos that will haunt me forever. Little babies are horribly abused at the hands of traffickers. They do not value human life at all. They lure poor women and young girls into countries like the U.S. with promises of good jobs, force them into prostitution and then throw them away when they are no longer useful. Ricky Martin is doing a wonderful thing by trying to help these victims who have no voice.

    he helps them, then he molests them………..he is a queer.

    Spreading the word, as long as it doesn't hurt his own pocket book too much. That's how the game is played.

    He has millions, but what he mostly do is buy and sell real estate for his own good. He bought an island in Brazil for $8 million some years ago. HOW MANY KID'S LIVES WOULD THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY HAD SAVED IF USED FOR THEM?

    You people always assume the celebs actually donate a lot of money. They don't. They just collect other people's money. Ricky's foundation only has money his crazy fans donate there, his own money isn't there. When he tours he puts one extra dollar to the ticket price to give to his foundation. That's where the money comes from, from the audience not from his pocket. Isn't that convenient?

    Fuck you perez, you know nothing about what really is happening or you don't care. Rather the latter. You are a pathetic ass kisser of spoiled, pampered celebs promoting their shit. They just love the spotlight and how everybody say how good they are.

    Please stop promoting these losers.

    Why do you still play to gay stereotypes? Calling Ricky Martin "Enriquetta" is nothing more than subtle gay bashing. Break free of your own self-hate Perez.

    #42…..you're comment is disturbing and unnecessary, even for this site. WHO hurt you in your life??? Very sad. You can't even accept there are indeed good people in this world, like Mr. Ricky Martin. Get help, man. Please.
