Ricky Martin In U.S. Capitol To Combat Human Trafficking

The Washington Post spoke with Ricky Martin who is in town to meet with Labor Secretary Elaine Chao and push his effort to combat trafficking in humans through his People for the Children campaign. “I need to spend a week here,” he said. “There’s just so much to do. A lot of people think that human trafficking is just crossing the border illegally, but it’s about sexual exploitation and forcing people to have slavelike jobs. This is sick — we live in the year of 2003, and we’re talking about slaves.”
