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.

THE PROBLEM

  • 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.

TAKE ACTION

Promises can be broken - we need laws that must be kept - let's get governments around the world to pass laws that bring an end to the trafficking of children in the chocolate industry.

  • 10 SECONDS to sign this petition, together we can let governments and the cocoa industry know that we want traffik free chocolate.
  • 10 MINUTES to send a 10th birthday card and this letter to your local Member of Parliament, Parliamentarian, Senator, Government Official, Member of European Parliament etc...
