Ricky Martin Makes Plans ‘For the Children’

While preparing to release his first Spanish-language album in five years, Ricky Martin has launched a new initiative with the aim of fighting child pornography and prostitution worldwide. Called People for the Children, the project is part of the Puerto Rico-based Ricky Martin Foundation. Martin tells Billboard, “I started to find out exactly what’s happening with child prostitution worldwide, and the numbers are astonishing. In the next 10 years, it will be the single biggest problem for our society — even bigger than the war against drugs. I’m not going to point out specific countries, but I am going to speak with every president and point out numbers and statistics.”
