Pop-superstar Ricky Martin advocates “Call and Live” campaign against human trafficking
Pop-star Ricky Martin, IDB President Luis Alberto Moreno and Ayuda Executive Director Mauricio Vivero today campaigned for “Call and Live,” a program designed to abolish human trafficking in Latin America. “Call and Live” is used to help stop the increase of the more than 20,000 individuals trafficked into the United States every year, as mentioned by the U.S. State Department.
“Call and Live” is a hotline that is used to report human trafficking violations, and has already received over 55,000 phone calls to report wrongdoings. The IDB initiative against human trafficking is meant to be used by Latin nations in order to help their efforts to “prevent, protect, and prosecute.”
