70% of the world's cocoa is produced in West Africa, where many farms employ children that are trafficked and forced to work in conditions akin to slavery. - 10 YEARS ago the biggest chocolate companies promised to get rid of child trafficking in the cocoa industry in West Africa.
- 10 YEARS on, despite their promises, we only have a tiny amount of Traffik Free chocolate.
- 10 YEARS have earned the cocoa industry £600 billion. Only 0.0075% of this has been invested into improving working conditions in West Africa.
As long as our young brothers and sisters in West Africa are being enslaved for cocoa, we are not free either. Please help eradicate child slavery in the cocoa business by signing this petition and getting some of your mates to aswell.
