This boy in the Ivory Coast is one of thousands of children who do 3D
(dirty, dangerous, degrading) work on cocoa farms.
What I would not do to my own child I cannot accept paying someone else to do to a child.
Do you feel the same way?
Why do we need chocolate companies to commit to 100% ethical cocoa by 2020?
The documentary film The Dark Side of Chocolate
http://www.cultureunplugged.com/documentary/watch-online/filmedia/play/4...
provides many of these answers. Trafficked from neighbouring countries, working long hours with no pay, see the ugly reality many children face on cocoa farms without ethical standards.
Ready to commit to fair chocolate and cocoa products that support sustainable cacao farming, and human and animal rights?
Make sure your chocolate does not contribute to child slavery. Buy local ChocoSol horizontally traded cacao products at Anarres Apothecary store in February.
