HOW MUCH CHOCOLATE DO YOU EAT IN A WEEK?
One form of trafficking is the use of children to harvest the cocoa beans on farms in Cote D'Ivoire. These children are likely to be working to make your chocolate.
WHERE DID ALL THE CHOCOLATE COME FROM?
Nearly half the world's chocolate is made from cocoa grown in the Cote D'Ivoire, in Africa.12,000 children have been trafficked into cocoa farms in Cote D'Ivoir.
When we buy chocolate we are being forced to be oppressors ourselves as we have no guarantee that the chocolate we eat is 'traffik free'
TRAFFIK FREE GUARANTEE
We want all chocolate companies to be able to stamp onto their chocolate wrappers a guarantee that the cocoa beans have not been harvested by trafficked labour. We can then choose to eat chocolate with a Traffik Free Guarantee.
