UNICEF: Ricky Martin on the right to be protected from abuse and exploitation.

www.unicef.org/rightsite

World renowned and popular Latin singer Ricky Martin, a passionate defender of childrens rights, was appointed a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in 2003.
Ricky Martin first became associated with UNICEF in 1984 as a member of Menudo, which supported UNICEFs work.

In his role as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, Ricky Martin has supported UNICEFs efforts in fighting for childrens rights, especially in the area of child trafficking. Mr. Martin made an appeal to the United Nations in October 2004 for international help to fight sex tourism as part of an international panel of philanthropists dedicated to the education and prevention of child trafficking.

He did extensive media work on behalf of UNICEF following his visit to Thailands tsunami-stricken areas in January 2005. In his commitment to fight child abuse, he travelled to Dar Al-Amman, Jordan in July 2005 where he visited the first Child Safety Center in the Arab region.
