Did you know? Much of the world's cocoa is harvested in West Africa. Across this region, an estimated 2.12 million children - as young as 6 - work in cocoa-related activities.
A child slave:
• works in extreme heat for very long working hours with little pay
• harvests cocoa pods and slices them open using dangerous implements
• lifts and carries heavy sacks of cocoa beans
• mixes and applies harmful pesticides without protective gloves or masks
• receives very poor nutrition and no or limited access to health care
• endures violence or sexual abuse at the hands of employers or others in the industry
Here's what you can do to help raise the bar on chocolate:
• Petition the international cocoa initiative and chocolate companies to aim higher to eliminate the worst forms of child labour in cocoa
• Identify ethical chocolate using our Good Chocolate Guide: s.wvc.ca/H1eFZt
• Spread the word on social media using #nochildforsale
Here's what we're doing to raise the bar on chocolate:
• Continually creating awareness campaigns and encouraging action around this important issue
• Helping to create sustainable support initiatives in Ghana where children have been working in the worst forms of child labour
Together we can make a difference. Join us in raising our voices to tell the world no child should ever be for sale.

this breaks my heart, child labour needs to stop!
AWW.
A few years ago me and a friend were watching a video on child labor in the chocolate industry which showed a boy shaking something and he looked funny doing it so we decided to dub it with the "nigga nigga" song. Now we completely regret this after seeing this commercial
'Cocoa' X => 'Cacao' O
Child slavery ought to be outmoded by Automated production (using robots to do harvesting)
Then how are they going to make a living ?
Chocolate ought to be more expensive on the consumer end so we can pay wages for adults in Africa. Robotic harvesting is not feasible.
I picture the chocolate industry senior executives making so much more monetary profit from the use of child slave-labour.
